The walls close in on Ed, and emotions run high at Beechwood.
Tom apologises to Helen for passing on the news about Rob dying, and how people kept talking to her about it at Brian鈥檚 party. Helen insists it doesn鈥檛 matter. They talk about the effect it鈥檚 had on Henry and Jack. Helen is more concerned about Jack, particularly with Lee having moved out so recently too. Helen feels guilty, as the boys loved Lee so much. Helen then offers to let delighted Henry order pizza and some other treats for dinner. She hopes Tom doesn鈥檛 think she鈥檚 a bad mother for bailing out of cooking, but he鈥檚 fine with it. Later, Henry tells Helen he overheard her conversation with Tom and thinks she did the right thing splitting up with Lee. Despite missing Lee Henry assures Helen both him and Jack will be okay. They share a warm moment, before Helen promises she will try and organise tickets for them to see a football match in Paris.
Stella tells Ed they can鈥檛 let him graze his sheep at Home Farm. Ed understands the reasons why, but cannot hide his disappointment. Later, in The Bull with Adam, Ian and Stella, Ed gives vent to his true feelings about how unfair life is: the rich get richer and the poor, like the Grundys, end up struggling to survive. It鈥檚 not right.
Ian鈥檚 still thinking about Adil鈥檚 attempt to persuade him to stay on at Grey Gables. Adam thinks he should, as he clearly wants to. Ian agrees, but only so long as he鈥檚 got Adam鈥檚 support.
