The neighbours all remain trapped in situations of their own making - can they escape? 

Gail returns home with a new style and a new stance on life but is soon forced to face the consequences of her actions. Belle’s sister Ruth moves in, bringing even more chaos than Maya and forcing Belle to see things in a new way. 

David finally realises that Belle may hold the key to the answers he seeks about Kelly. But even when he reaches the truth, he must contend with his faith and his morals in order to decide how to act. At Hannah’s hen party, she grapples with indecision and tries to understand where Andy’s heart lies. And a doorstep conversation with Hannah and Gail sheds devastating light on both of their situations.
