Until Carl can pack his kids off to their aunt they're still his responsibility, so he dutifully sends them to school. But Thomas and Anya are convinced he doesn't really care what they do and they bunk off to muck about in the fields around Butler's Farm. Carl finds out but has no anger left. He's not concerned, either, when Anya shows him a rash on her leg. When Thomas develops the same rash, though, Carl panics and rushes them both to hospital, where he's told they could have meningitis. Shocked and terrified, Carl tells Chas he won't be able to live with himself if they don't recover. Ah, so he does care! Maisie, on the other hand, doesn't really care about anything or anyone – except Ryan, and she can't have him. Unhappily drunk in The Woolpack, she goes into town on her own and has a one-night stand with a stranger that can only lead to a morning-after of regrets... Meanwhile, Sam already has regrets... With the Dingles spread around Emmerdale, he isn't seeing as much of Olena as he used to. That upsets him but not Olena. Can you imagine how hurt Sam would be if he knew that...
