Helen and Kaz find common ground, and Rob lays it on the line.

Clarrie and Pat chat in the dairy about the elf migration. Jennifer has put up photos of the event on the village website. Pat tells her that Helen has started working the vegetable garden but they haven't heard from her directly yet. Later, Clarrie explains to Pat and Tony about the work being done at Grange Farm. The sycamore has come down but now a patch of damp has been found in the sitting room.

Helen explains to Kaz that Henry was conceived by donation insemination. Kaz empathises about being grateful for meeting a man who will take on a child that's not their own. Helen cautiously says it feels good to be able to choose for herself again and mentions the haircut Rob persuaded her to have for a New Year Ball. Helen opens up to Kaz about Rob's controlling behaviour; his comments on her appearance and the tracking software the police found on her mobile. 

Rob visits Pat and Tony and tells them that Henry was upset by one of the other children at school who told him his mother was a murderer and locked in prison. He explains what he said to Henry and tells Pat and Tony it's up to them if they want to give a more sugar-coated version. Pat can't believe that Rob is dictating how they treat their grandchild. Tony says they can only do their best, nothing more.

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