Clarrie has an epiphany, and Helen makes a call.

It's Good Friday, and Ambridge is marking last year's floods with a special church service. Clarrie angrily blames Alf for stealing money from her purse. She says she would have been happy to share money with him, because he is family. Alf gives a full apology, and Clarrie gives him a second chance.
Helen tries to play with Henry but he says she never plays with him. Helen reiterates to him that she will never send him away. Ursula left before Helen had the chance to say goodbye. Rob says, after Helen's performance yesterday, who can blame Ursula for wanting to rush off? Rob says she is "unlike herself" today. Helen calls the midwife and goes against Rob's decision to have a home birth. Rob confiscates her car keys. This is the last straw for Helen.
Helen summons the courage to call the helpline. She tells the helpline woman about Rob's violence. Helen thinks she should be grateful for all that she has, but when the woman offers support Helen clams up. Rob comes in enquiring about supper. Helen says he should make it and walks out of the room.
