Shula confesses to Alan that her absence from church is down to her, not the institution. Her decree absolute has come through and she鈥檚 tussling with the concept of breaking her vows and yet being a lay reader. Alan encourages her not to send God away and live in doubt, but to find a way to accept God鈥檚 invitation to be in her life.

Will鈥檚 still trying to patch things up with Mia over his attitude to Ruairi. He鈥檚 sorry. He tries to explain to her that it鈥檚 only because he cares. But Mia doesn鈥檛 get it. She was horribly embarrassed at his treatment of Ruairi. He鈥檚 just a friend, she doesn鈥檛 need protecting. Her mum would have handled this better. Deeply hurt by this remark, Will is comforted by Emma. She鈥檚 looking for a childminder as Ed鈥檚 had a lucrative last minute job come up. But Will鈥檚 busy and not up for it.

Later Mia鈥檚 disgusted when she thinks her request for help with her maths is taken the wrong way by Ruairi. This is Will鈥檚 fault, she tells Emma. Her friendship with Ruairi was fine until he messed it up. Emma assures her Will thinks the world of all his kids. He鈥檚 trying his best to be two parents at once. Mia softens a little. Emma tells her she鈥檚 a tough little star, like her mum. Mia assures her she鈥檚 totally fine.
