GS: Eli Knox (Shane Lynch) Kim Sullivan (Juliette Caton) Doctor (Ajay Chhabra) As Dean tells Frank what's happening with Jodie, Gina informs Don and adds Jodie knows he was behind leaking the story, and how that was the moment Jodie fell ill. Lee scores against Arsenal and at half time Viv plans to put Frank on to continue Harchester’s good form. Scott returns to tell Viv that Frank has gone because Jodie has miscarried. Barker arrives at the hospital where Dean tells him that Jodie's lost the baby. Frank tells Don to get out, and through tears Jodie accuses Don of killing her baby, and that she never wants to see him again. Don is broken while at the game Ljunberg scores and Harchester fail to hang on. The final whistle goes taking them out of the Champions League. Everyone is gutted for the team while Frank and Jodie are reunited by the loss of their baby. Harchester are now solely chasing promotion and need a result against Nottingham Forest to stay in the fight. The team are still arguing about the Arsenal game, and Viv warns them they are to welcome Frank back to the team. Fletch enters the dressing room already changed for the game. When Viv questions him he responds that he isn't getting naked in front of Frank. Lee snaps at Fletch over what Frank has been through, and Frank collects his things, telling Viv he is going to the physio room. Viv goes straight over to Fletch and asks him to imagine how he'd feel if Louis died and then some idiot starting dissing him. Viv adds it's a wonder Frank doesn't rip his throat out. Gina speaks with Kim who has brought the twins to the game. Kim says she will watch from inside as the double-stroller is a nightmare to get through. At the hospital for a check-up, Jodie hears Frank has scored, and decides to get to the game. At the club, Erica is sick so Kim takes her into the ladies to change, leaving Jack in the stroller outside. Jodie comes along the corridor and notices Jack crying. She picks him up without thinking, before walking away with him. Kim comes out of the ladies with Erica and is horrified to discover Jack gone. The game finishes after a late equaliser from Nottingham Forest, and Jodie leaves the club in the crowd, unnoticed with Jack. Frank heads home and as the lads get changed there is noise of a commotion in the tunnel. Danny goes out to find Kim hysterical over someone taking Jack. The police are called and Danny berates Kim over how long she left Jack alone, before yelling at the police. Viv takes control and tells Danny that he needs to stay strong as Kim needs him now. Dean tells the boys the police have asked them to help with the search so they are checking the woodland close to the Lair's grounds. Frank arrives home and is shocked to find a baby there. Frank demands Jodie tell him where she got the baby from but she goes into complete denial, saying the baby’s name is Kobe. Gina comes to the door with the police and Frank learns Jodie has one of Sully's twins. He stops Gina from seeing Jodie and says he will help the lads searching the woodland. At the field Sully shows his appreciation to Frank for showing up and they begin the search. When a blanket is spotted that doesn't turn out to be Jack's, Danny gets upset when he thinks they are searching for a body. Gina gets round to seeing Jodie, and as they talk on the doorstep, Jodie responds that she now knows how tired Kim’s babies make her. Gina is confused, and as she walks away she looks into Jodie's car and sees the teddy bear blanket. She phones Fletch, telling him what she's seen, but Fletch uses this to attack Frank and reveals what Jodie has done in front of everyone. Danny goes for Frank as he tries to explain, and begs Curtis to take him with him as the lads rush to Jodie. When they arrive Danny and the others burst in to find Jodie with the baby. As Danny tries to talk Jodie into handing Jack over, Lee and Ammo sneak behind her and forcibly remove Jack from her arms. Frank comes in and Jodie collapses onto him crying as Danny warns them to never come near his family again. Jack is reunited with Kim as Jodie continues to cry in Frank's arms. A tearful Gina says she will phone for a doctor. Outside Viv and Dean ponder Frank's future at the club, as Dean hopes the team will come to understand why Jodie did what she did in time. Viv tells him time is exactly what they don't have right now.
