Caroline calls Kathy in for a chat. Once she's satisfied herself that she's made the right choice, she offers Kathy the post of temporary health club manager. Kathy accepts with delight. When she returns later to reacquaint herself with the system, she takes to it like a duck to water. Oliver observes happily that they couldn't have asked for a safer pair of hands.

Joe receives an offer of £1500 compensation for the accident but Eddie doesn't think it's enough. Joe's unsure, and Eddie advises him to sleep on it. An invitation to the pub doesn't go down well with Joe, but once he's had a visit from Poppy and Keira, he perks up. He's very taken with Poppy, which needles Emma and causes her to ramp up the competition with Nic. Talk of Susan's 50th takes a nasty turn, and Nic leaves.

At the Bull, Eddie gives Oliver short shrift, but Kenton assures Oliver the frostiness will pass. Eddie reports to Clarrie that Joe still wasn't himself in the pub. Eddie's worried. Clarrie's matter of fact. If they want to keep Joe's spirits up, they have to lead by example. Eddie hugs her fondly. What would he do without her?
