Lilian attempts to build bridges and Helen comes clean.

Helen鈥檚 having no luck finding replacements for Lee鈥檚 figure boxes. It鈥檚 time to tell Lee what鈥檚 happened. Joy offers to do it as the damage occurred on her watch, but Helen says she鈥檒l tell Lee herself. In the end they do it together. Lee鈥檚 sad, but stoic. He admits later when coaxed by Helen that he was being polite to start with. He鈥檚 had some of those figures for years. But now he鈥檚 realised for the first time that they are better played with. Helen thinks Jack will be over the moon, which makes Lee happy.
Peggy wonders whether Jennifer will ever forgive her for hiding the truth about Alice. Lilian tells her Jennifer鈥檚 just frantic with worry; Alice has agreed to rehab but is being uncooperative. Peggy remembers similar feelings before Jack went into the sanitorium. She could help Jennifer, if she鈥檇 let her. Peggy asks whether Lilian believes she did the wrong thing by not telling Jennifer when she first knew about Alice. Lilian admits she might feel as Jenny does if it was her. But what鈥檚 done is done, and she鈥檒l do her best to sort it for Peggy. Peggy鈥檚 grateful. She confesses she鈥檚 not sure rehab is the best option for Alice. It was a fool鈥檚 errand in Jack鈥檚 case, and he died a horrible death. Lilian assures Peggy things are different these days, and that Alice will be treated well and appropriately. Fears allayed, Peggy suggests offering to help pay for the rehab. She can鈥檛 bear to think of Alice ending up like her grandfather.
