Abi eagerly shows Kevin the car she’s meddled with and is quick to blame Carl. But when Kevin studies the CCTV, he’s stunned to see his wife is responsible for the damage.
Later in the week, Kevin has bigger things to worry about as he attends an appointment to hear his latest test results. When Abi is forced to head out on a breakdown call, Kevin goes to the appointment alone, still seething over her lies.
“Abi’s in a huge dilemma,” our source says. “She is torn between the two Webster brothers, but if Kevin gets told bad news at the hospital, it will make the decision for her. Regardless of anything else, Abi could not and would not leave Kevin while he’s ill.”
While Kevin waits for the consultant, Carl continues to pursue Abi at the garage. As she vows her commitment to Kevin, Carl pushes her buttons, telling her he can’t stop thinking about her – and he knows she feels the same.
As the sexual tension bristles between the pair, Kevin faces his future alone. But will he receive the all-clear he’s hoping for, or will it be bad news? And will his results force Abi to stay with him out of obligation?
