Anna updates Helen, and Jennifer wants Phoebe to take a break.

Helen phones Anna from the mother and baby unit and learns that Rob is contesting the custody of Jack. There's going to be a hearing for the custody of both Henry and Jack later in the month. Anna suggests Helen needs to allow Rob supervised visits to Jack but Helen is adamant he shouldn't see the baby. Anna also tells Helen she needs to be present at the custody hearing. Helen is terrified at the thought of seeing Rob even though it will be via video link.

After her call with Anna Helen is emotional and she struggles with changing Jack's nappy. Kaz, another inmate at the unit, comes over to help Helen and they get to know each other a little.

Lilian keeps her answers vague when Jennifer and asks her about her weekend away. She then changes the subject and asks Jennifer about her upcoming trip on the Orient Express. Jennifer is trying to keep Kate - who wants help with the launch of her new venture - away from Phoebe who is revising for her A-Levels. Lilian tells Jennifer that Justin has heard the council is making announcement about the relief road plans. The sisters agree it's a huge decision, especially for Brookfield.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
