Pat knocks at Joy鈥檚 door after midnight, asking after Helen. Helen鈥檚 still not home and sounded strange on the phone. Joy says Helen鈥檚 told her nothing, but Pat knows it鈥檚 to do with Rob. Pat insists on going to Rob鈥檚 flat, and Joy says in that case she鈥檒l drive. On the way Joy explains how she鈥檚 been there before with Helen and Jack, but ends up soothing Pat about the fact Helen didn鈥檛 go to her for support instead.

When Rob wakes up in his flat Helen is there. He still wants her to smother him with a pillow, but Helen refuses. She didn鈥檛 come to help Rob die. She came for Jack, even though he didn鈥檛 want to see Rob in the end. Helen remains calm as Rob gets meaner. He intuits that Helen and Lee are no longer together, and says she鈥檚 not a good liar. Unlike you, she replies. Rob鈥檚 room reminds Helen of her remand cell. It was horrible there, but still better than being with Rob. Rob tells her once more to end his life, but Helen says he鈥檒l have to do it himself. Rob then throws insults at Helen, saying she caused his tumour. Helen compares Rob to his father, before recalling Rob鈥檚 words when he put a knife in her hand. She won鈥檛 put him out of his suffering though, he鈥檒l have to wait to die. And then she goes. Outside, Helen hugs Pat and Joy. When Pat asks, Helen confirms Rob is still alive - but they won鈥檛 be coming back.
