Susan has the New Year blues, and Jennifer lends a hand.

Susan and Neil take a condolence card round for Peggy but as she's not in Neil suggests a walk might be nice. Susan isn't happy though and insists on returning home. Once there, Neil feels that something still isn't right. Susan admits she's very fed up. She wants a holiday and to get away from her routine. Neil does his best to appease her but his suggestion of a takeaway does little to cheer her up.

Peggy and Jennifer start to pack up Jack's room at The Laurels. Peggy reminisces and Jennifer reminds her how many people loved Jack. Later they discuss arrangements for Jack's funeral and draft an announcement for the Echo. Jennifer writes a piece tactfully referring to Hazel, who has been less than sympathetic to Peggy. Jennifer reassures Peggy that she won't let Hazel spoil anything.

Helen devises a plan allowing her to drop in on Rob. Helen still hasn't told her family that she's seeing Rob, and is struggling to find a good time. Helen asks whether he's told Jess yet. He says he has. Helen asks whether he's spoken to her since but he insists she should forget about Jess. It's just the two of them now, together.
