at Whitney Dean, prompting Sonia to realise there is something wrong
with her mother.

behaviour but they are distracted when they learn that Liam has skipped

him with Cindy, but surprises Sonia by refusing to punish him.

Later on, Sonia tries to get to the bottom of what is wrong and
Carol breaks down. Sonia's concerns about her odd behaviour then
