Helen makes a breakthrough and Chris faces a race against time.
Lee’s spotted something at the house of awkward neighbour Kyle, and alerts Helen. Later Helen encounters Kyle, who as ever aims his vitriol at her. Helen makes it clear she knows he’s had a woman at his house. She’s not afraid to post photos online if Kyle doesn’t leave her and her family in peace. Kyle backs down, and entreats Helen not to tell his wife what he’s up to. Helen reports her victory to Lee. It felt good – even if she had to bluff about the photographs!
Alice asks if Fallon and Harrison can keep an eye on Chris and Martha while she’s gone. Fallon agrees. She thinks Alice should tell Chris she’s leaving, but Alice is adamant.
Fallon tells Chris Alice is leaving; she’s worried Alice might go for good. Hurt Chris can’t believe it. Maybe she should stay away, and leave him and Martha in peace. But in spite of himself there’s a part of him that thinks there still might be a chance. He doesn’t know what to do. He still loves Alice. Fallon tries gently to encourage Chris to see Alice before she goes. Chris decides to follow Fallon’s advice, but he’s too late and Alice is already gone when he gets there. He’s distraught, blaming himself for keeping Martha away from Alice and for the disintegration of his family. She might never come back; what if he’s lost her forever and it’s all his fault?
