Overview
- Eddie Knight, jailed in 2024 for killing George’s birth father, returns in hospital on Monday claiming terminal lung cancer and asks to make peace.
- Nicola Mitchell answers Eddie’s calls, confronts him at the hospital, and at first keeps the contact from George as they care for premature newborn Ivy.
- George visits on Tuesday after discovering the approach and signals he may give his adoptive father a second chance.
- Later scenes suggest Eddie has not changed and hint at another motive for the outreach, deepening tensions with Gina and brother Kojo.
- Viewers reject reconciliation, and the plot revisits a baby‑farming adoption from West Africa and a racist killing that have shaped George’s life.
