The ramifications continue at Brookfield, and Kirsty lends a hand.
David and Ruth continue to try to understand what鈥檚 happening with Ben while he sleeps upstairs. David worries Ben will return to the state he was in on Friday and he still won鈥檛 know how to help. Ruth takes Bess up to be with Ben and then she and David talk about Katie, Ben鈥檚 home treatment nurse. Ruth warns David about looking for information online; she thinks he鈥檇 be better off talking to Elizabeth who has experienced depression.
Joy hosts Mick and Kirsty as they practise for Jolene鈥檚 choir 鈥� she and Mick aren鈥檛 seeing much of one another what with being on rival choirs. Mick complains about Jolene鈥檚 expectations of her choir, but Kirsty points out Jolene gets cross with him because he鈥檚 often disrupting the rehearsal.
Joy brings refreshments for Kirsty and Mick. Mick teases Kirsty for being as persistent as Jolene in her coaching of him but then admits that without her he鈥檇 have given up the choir 鈥� they鈥檝e had a lot of fun.
After earlier dropping off a cake made by Jill, Leonard calls again at Brookfield, this time with his Lord of the Rings books which Ben had taken interest in previously. Before heading off he mentions he鈥檇 love to see Ben when he鈥檚 up to it. David reports his chat with Elizabeth to Ruth: Elizabeth says they both need to take care of themselves as well as Ben. They agree that鈥檚 easier said than done.
