Henry is going on a little trip, and is it curtains for the village hall?

Lynda's keen to join Susan, Shula and the village hall's curtain committee, as she has an idea about how to raise money for new stage curtains - Lent. Everyone can give something up and use the cash they save to contribute towards them. 

Rob brings Helen tea in bed and a biscuit, hoping she's up to it as she has been feeling queasy recently. Rob wonders who Helen is texting so early - Helen says it's Pat. But Helen doesn't tell Rob that she has planned a secret trip for Henry and briefs Henry that she'll collect him from school. He mustn't breathe a word.

To Helen's shock and surprise, Rob turns up at the school gates as she tries to take Henry away. Wondering why Helen has driven he wonders whether Henry is ill - why is she talking him out of school? Helen admits they're meeting Kirsty - she pretended he had a doctor's appointment. Rob apologises to the teacher and explains that Helen must have muddled her dates. Henry gets upset and Rob tells Helen it's Kirsty's bad influence.

Alone on the steam train, Kirsty open sup to Roy about her relationship with Helen, suspecting something's up. Kirsty knows she needs to be careful - she wants Helen to trust her again. Otherwise she'd jump off the train now and go straight round to Blossom Hill cottage.
