Helen gets back in the game with Leon.

Wayne has bronchitis so Jolene insists they can't just chuck him out. Besides it's good for Fallon to have him around for a bit longer. Sid's scornful; the pub's the worst possible place for an alcoholic. Jolene insists Wayne hasn't touched a drink while he's been there, and accuses Sid of being jealous.

Tony thought Turkey was lovely once he'd learned to relax, although the Turkish bath wasn't quite how he imagined. Tom tells him the only problem they had while they were in charge was ordering detergent. Tony's annoyed that the company they've been dealing with for years should be awkward. He's not sure it's necessary for Tom to be a signatory on the farm account, even though Pat thinks it's a good idea.

Helen and Leon get a chance to talk properly, and she mentions Annette. Leon senses she's nervous and asks about her past. When Helen tells him about Greg, surprised Leon apologises for pushing for information.

Back at his flat, Leon flatters Helen but she's taken by surprise when he kisses her and asks her to stay over. Out of her comfort zone, Helen tells him it's a kind offer but she really must go home.
