Mike breaks the news to Ed. Meanwhile, Roy has to find the right words.
Elizabeth finds Roy for a talk. They agree things can't go on the way they are. Roy agrees. He'll bite the bullet and leave Hayley. But that's not what Elizabeth meant. This relationship doesn't have a future. Elizabeth admits that she has felt a new lease of life. Roy has been so important to her. But she won't let Roy do anything to attempt to turn it into more - and break up his family. Elizabeth also hates how her own children are so upset, horribly involved in their lie.
Elizabeth suggests that Roy starts looking for another job. Geraldine can take on more duties. Elizabeth wants a mutual agreement that he'll leave, but angry Roy says she'll have to sack him.
Johnny's keen to help with milking. Eddie tells Ed not to worry about Mike. Jazzer's probably blown things out of proportion. But Mike finally tells Ed he and Vicky are leaving Ambridge. Ed worries for his own future.
Hayley spots Roy browsing online for jobs. She's not stupid and asks what's happened. Roy says Elizabeth is letting him go. Hayley's stunned - why?! Hayley senses there's something going on, but doesn't say, simply asking Roy to explain what has gone wrong. Roy says it's just time he moved on.
