Hannah tries to soften Helen over the Henry incident; it had been her idea to let Henry play the computer game, not Tom's but Helen brushes Hannah aside. Tom thinks it needs sorting and the two of them apologise to Helen. Tom points out he's worried that denying Henry things he wants will only make him want them more. Finally Helen concedes she may have overreacted in her efforts to protect her son. She's pleased Henry has a good relationship with Tom. A truce is called. Hannah mentions a karate class which might suit energetic Henry. Helen doesn't commit, but says she'll look into it.

Lily and Russ pay the deposit on a flat in Manchester, Russ thinks it's ideal. Later, Russ makes himself at home at Lower Loxley by cooking odd concoctions, to Elizabeth's alarm. Freddie's appalled to learn from Elizabeth that Russ is staying in his room. How stupid of her! When Elizabeth starts to cry, contrite Freddie begs her to stop.

Lily has her worries of her own as Russ ignores calls to his mobile. Finally he admits it's the college chasing him about an allegation against him. He's keen to shelve it until Monday, but Lily's scared it's about them. Russ promises her everything's going to be fine.
