Have Helen and Lee come to a decision about the future? Kirsty and Roy have company.

Kirsty tells Roy that Brian was waiting outside their house with a shepherd’s pie as a thank you for having him over the other night. But now he’s going to help decorate Phoebe’s room. All Kirsty wants is some quiet time to herself. Later Brian’s asleep in their armchair. Kirsty and Roy wonder what to do, but they don’t want to disturb him. Kirsty’s nonplussed when Roy suggests that Brian stays for dinner.

When Helen tells Tony her suggestion that Lee move to San Francisco to be near his daughters, Tony wonders why. Helen explains she doesn’t want to stand between Lee and Mabel and Evie. When Tony asks what would happen if Lee decided to go, Helen says she couldn’t join him because of Henry and Jack and her work. Although it might mean the end of their relationship, she loves Lee too much to stand in his way.

Later Lee tells Tony that he thinks Helen’s looking for a way out of their relationship. But Tony explains Helen’s just trying to make it easier for him. Helen loves Lee but she also knows how much he loves his girls. When he asks Tony what he should do, Tony says there are many ways to be present in his daughters’ lives, even long-distance. Later Lee tells Helen he’s come to a decision. He’s going to accept the girls are going to move to America and trust they’ll always know he’s their dad and love them. That way he gets to be a good Dad to his daughters, and to his sons too.
