It's decision time for Ed and Oliver.

Susan's convinced Eddie's feeding George with rubbish. Emma doesn't want to cause a fuss - it'll look like sour grapes. Susan's worried about Emma too, but Emma insists she's fine.

Joe knows people think he and Mildred are silly old fools. Ed tells him to stuff what other people say - being happy is all that matters. Joe gets Ed to open up. Ed admits that Emma's asked him to go back with her and that he said no way. Joe senses that Ed now wishes he hadn't and says that chances for real love don't come very often. It might all go wrong again, but only he can decide if it's worth taking that risk.

It's what Ed needed to hear. He goes straight to Emma to tell her they've got to try again. Emma can hardly believe it.

All Oliver can think about is four more months of movement restriction and another sixty days worrying about the next tests. Caroline assures him they'll get through it. But Oliver knows how difficult he's been to live with lately and he's made a decision. He's going to close down the business.
