George reveals to Clarrie and Eddie that Tilly came round yesterday to choose a guinea pig with her young cousins. Eddie鈥檚 proud of Poppy鈥檚 sales initiative. Oliver interrupts them and George has to leave the room. Oliver explains how bad things are at Grey Gables. Everything is in a mess and he needs to find 拢250,000 to rectify things.

Helen admits to Kirsty she鈥檚 not in a hurry to get home. Kirsty reminds Helen of how much she missed Lee when he went to San Francisco but Helen鈥檚 not sure that鈥檚 really true. If she鈥檚 honest, she finds things easier to cope with when Lee鈥檚 not around. Added to that their relationship hasn鈥檛 felt romantic for a very long time. Kirsty suggests ways Helen and Lee could repair things but Helen鈥檚 not convinced anything will work. Kirsty implores her to talk to Lee.
Lee joins Henry on a game and asks how it went with Alan. Henry doesn鈥檛 think he was brave, just an idiot. Lee understands Henry鈥檚 anger and admits he鈥檚 feeling angry too.

However, Henry and Lee present their plan for tomorrow 鈥� a super-fun family day 鈥� to make up for a difficult week. Helen hugs Henry and tells him she loves him.
