A familiar face makes a dramatic return, and one villager struggles to stay in control.

Helen finds a nervous Rob waiting for her in a caf茅 in Swindon. Rob asks after Jack. Has Helen any pictures? But Helen tells him he鈥檚 not seeing Jack in a photo or in person. If he wants to meet Rob when he鈥檚 an adult she won鈥檛 stop him, but until then she wants Rob to withdraw his child access application and to agree to Lee鈥檚 Community Resolution. Rob insists he doesn鈥檛 want to cause problems. He knows how much he hurt them. But he鈥檚 changed. When asked what happened between him and Lee, Rob says he felt threatened. He tried to stop Lee coming too close, but Lee grabbed him and threw him to the ground. Nonetheless, Rob says he鈥檒l agree to the Community Resolution. However, he does want access to Jack. Helen doesn鈥檛 waver. He can choose to continue his abuse, or he can leave them alone. That鈥檚 the only way she鈥檚 going to think any better of him. When Helen tries to leave, Rob demands that she stay, the familiar steely tone back his voice. But then he collapses and starts to convulse. At the hospital, Helen calls Kirsty in a panic. She鈥檚 scared that Rob鈥檚 seizure was caused by his head injury. A doctor calls Helen through to see Rob and explains that the preliminary tests haven鈥檛 revealed anything. They鈥檒l need to investigate further. Rob takes the opportunity to reassure a clearly shaken Helen. It was probably just the intensity of seeing her again. He鈥檚 going to be fine.
