Kirsty supports the Bridge Farm Archers, and Rob tells Henry he loves him.

Kirsty suggests going for a walk but Helen is happy just looking out of the window - she can't believe she's really at Bridge Farm. She's anxious about how things will go with Henry though. When Henry arrives, Helen asks Pat to go to the door. Rob tells Henry that he loves him, then asks Pat if he can see the baby. Pat flatly refuses.

Helen gets upset when she sees Henry. She introduces him to his little brother, who Henry calls Gideon. Helen tells him that's a nickname Rob uses, his real name is Jack. 

Rob's reading online reports of the trial. Helen made the world believe her lies, she's got his son and now she's going to take Henry. Ursula tries to comfort him - if he makes a decent case at the family hearing who knows what might happen? Rob's still smarting from Pat's refusal earlier. Ursula thinks the Bridge Farm Archers are a heartless lot. 

Kirsty helps Tom in the polytunnel and they reflect on having Helen home. They know it's not easy for her - she's still got the family court hearing to get through. Helen tells Pat she used to love it when Henry called Rob 'Daddy' but now it makes her feel sick. She's not going to feel truly free until she's got Henry back for good.
