Jill has been trying to phone Pip's mobile. Adam suggests she's lost it but Jill is worried. Ruth initially claims that Pip has changed her number but Jill can sense that things are not right. Ruth's clearly upset and reveals Pip's threatening phone call. When Ruth tells her she wants to get the children away, Jill offers to have them at Glebe Cottage. Ruth adds that no-one else knows yet. She would like them to stay with Heather, her mum, but David is dead set against it.
Jill talks to David next. He changes his mind for the sake of his marriage and his own health. Ruth is grateful they will now be united in the fight.

He offers to ring round to find a helper to replace the injured student. Adam gratefully accepts.
