Emma wonders why Eddie was so snippy with Lynda at last night’s Canterbury Tales rehearsal; she wouldn’t be surprised if he walked off the show! When Helen says at least with Lynda directing she won’t be in the show, Emma says she is in it! It’s her swansong.

Emma’s surprised when Helen mentions visiting Christine at The Laurels. She thought Christine was coming home soon. Helen says she needs more rehab and is actually very happy there.

Elizabeth has the flu and worries about arrangements for the Hunt Ball. She feels guilty when Lily says she’ll stay on a bit longer. But Lily reassures her – her tutor is very understanding and has emailed her lots of notes. Elizabeth regrets not getting round to hiring a replacement for Geraldine, but Lily says once the Ball’s out of the way, they can sort finding a new manager.

Helen bumps into Lee at The Laurels. He’s there doing physio with one of the residents. Lee invites Helen for a coffee and she learns that he has two daughters, but he’s split up with their mum. Helen says it’s reassuring that she’s not the only who’s survived a toxic relationship, but doesn’t expand. Later at karate, Henry’s delighted to receive his red belt and Emma’s pleased that Helen’s going to carry on with lessons.
