Helen feels okay about Peggy changing her will but Rob clearly wasn't so keen. Helen admits that Rob can be overprotective.

Tom is excited about developing the pig partnership with Neil. Pat is disappointed that Helen's not going back to work at the shop. She says she's too busy looking after Rob and Henry. Tom suggests they close the shop altogether. Helen finds great relief in the idea - but they'll discuss it with Tony.

Pat tells a rather distracted Ruth about Tony. He'll be home from hospital soon. It will be strange when David and Ruth have left Ambridge, says Pat. Ruth quietly agrees.

Ruth confides in Usha about David's decision. Ruth feels betrayed and kept out of the decision-making by David and Jill. Pip's angry too, and Ben's upset and keen to go and see his granny Heather. Jill seems to be overcompensating, including Ruth in everything lately. Ruth recalls several good and bad experiences she and David have been through together. She thought that she and David were together on this.

Playing devil's advocate, Usha sees David's point of view - it's hard to be objective. Ruth admits she hasn't been perfect. But how is she supposed to choose between her Mum and her family?
