This week’s Platt family story has left audiences in tears.

After a series of seemingly happy days, David and Shona receive devastating news: their child has serious health problems and is forced to consider high-risk surgery.

In the latest trailer, Shona sits motionless in front of the doctor’s desk, while David holds her hand tightly, trying to hold back tears.

The doctor’s voice rings out: “The survival rate is not high, but it is the only chance.”

David – who has been strong through so many tragedies – now suddenly collapses. He is afraid of losing his child, afraid of losing faith in himself. Shona is drowning in guilt, afraid that everything is her fault. In the following scenes, the two sit together in the hospital corridor, the cold white light makes the frame suffocate.

According to ITVX, this will be one of the emotional peaks of the season, where David is forced to choose between “safety” and “a slim chance”. This episode is not only about loss but also a lesson about parenthood – that love is sometimes not enough, but trust can save.
