Lynda has a proposition for Bert, and Henry reveals a secret.

Lynda has finally settled on a typeface for her "resurgam" stone. Lynda goes round to Bert's, telling him that he has been on her mind. Lynda asks if Bert is looking after himself properly - he is, the mess is down to Rex and Toby. They are staying with him while they sort themselves out. Lynda requests that Bert opens his garden on a different day, but Bert makes a moving point about how he wants to commemorate his late wife Freda.
Helen sees a consultant. He tells her that the decision to have a home birth would be against medical advice. She agrees to reconsider. At Ursula's leaving party, Helen tries to discipline a rowdy Henry. Henry says he hates his mum because she wants to send him away. Ursula pretends not to know what the row is about. Helen says "this is too much. He's gone too far." It is clear that she has discovered Rob's plans to send Henry to boarding school. Ursula admits what the raucous was about, and Pat agrees that Helen's reaction wasn't quite rational.
Helen confronts Rob. Rob doesn't believe that she will manage raising two children. Helen breaks down and apologises. Rob asks if she even cares that she ruined Ursula's last day with them?
