Tony feels uneasy about Helen being on her own while he and Pat are in Salzburg, but Pat thinks it'll be good practice for when Helen moves back into her own flat. Tony's dismayed to learn that Helen plans to move back later this week - much sooner than he'd expected. Pat tells him there's no point arguing. Helen will do what she wants to do.

Hearing Clarrie wish Kathy a happy birthday, Kenton apologises for forgetting. Kathy declines Clarrie's invitation for a drink at The Bull that evening, and makes a quick exit. Kenton suspects that Kathy is avoiding him.

Pat calls round with Kathy's birthday present. She tells Kathy how happy and relaxed Helen is, and suggests Kathy calls round to meet Henry properly. Kathy thinks she should stick to one day a week. Pat agrees that's best for supper but would like Kathy to call in after work like she used to. Kathy declines, blaming a busy week at work.

Clarrie invites Jolene to the WI trip to an artisan baker but it's not for her. The Bull's really quiet but Jolene can't bear to think about Valentine's night. She tells Kenton that she feels life is just promotional events - one thing after another.
