When Sam cancelled the holiday Sandra lost her temper and he beat her so badly she ended up in hospital. The police told her they could press charges if Kelly agreed to testify but she was too scared. Kerry turned up at hospital to tell Sandra they were running away but it turned out to be just a trick to get her to come home.
