Kirsty drops the bombshell to Helen that she and Philip are moving to Wales. They acknowledge they’ll miss one another, but Helen thinks it’s a great new start for Kirsty. And it will make sense for Philip too, to escape the ghosts of the Grey Gables explosion. They toast the news with prosecco. Kirsty suggests Helen buys her Beechwood house – and inherit the joy of Joy… The two of them have a joke about this and the garden, before Helen admits she’s seriously interested in giving this idea consideration.

Ruairi tells Brian about the CD from his mum. Brian’s angry with Ruairi’s Auntie Naimh for sending it, and loses it slightly. Jennifer brings more sensitivity to the proceedings, and shoos Brian out and talks to Ruairi. She sees the CD as a wonderful gift, and allays Ruairi’s fears as to what it might contain. She comments that Siobhan was a strong woman; Ruairi counters that Jennifer is the strongest woman he knows, and has given him all the love and care he needs. He’s scared hearing his mum might be too much. Jennifer advises him not to listen to the CD now, but to wait until he’s ready. She’s here for him and loves him, and that’s never going to change.
