Zak tries to conceal his fear about his operation. Cain is angry to discover that he was the last person to know about his father's illness. Zak is left dejected when he fails to offer any sympathy and simply asks him if the condition is hereditary. Lisa confides to Angie that she cannot understand why he couldn't tell her about his health fears. Seth tries to take Zak's mind off his problems and suggests that they could place a bet on the horses. But even a £500 win fails to pull him from his depression.
