Jazzer questions his choices and Kirsty contemplates where to go from here.

Feeling lonely in a deserted Grey Gables, Kirsty calls Helen. She feels weird after Philip and Gavin’s sentencing and her difficult year. After work, she pops round to Helen’s and returns a wedding present Pat and Tony gave her; she doesn’t want any reminders of her marriage. She feels lost she admits, nothing in her life has worked out as she imagined. Helen counsels Kirsty that setting up her own business helped her win back self-confidence. Why doesn’t Kirsty go freelance as a conservation consultant? Kirsty is hesitant; she’s nearly 40. But Helen insists she’s at her peak.
Jazzer has treated Jade to a birthday picnic. He’s still gutted about the Mystery Plays being cancelled, but Jade can’t understand how amateur dramatics can be fun. She loves the biker jacket Jazzer has bought her but she’s insulted by Jim’s hamper of luxury smellies; is he implying she needs to wash more? Later, she picks Jim apart; he’s controlling, she insists, is turning Jazzer old before his years and she thinks their relationship is a bit creepy. Jazzer snaps at this. How dare Jade be so rude about his friend? She’s dumped!  Later Jazzer tells Jim they’ve broken up. He then hints that he already has the eye for a mature lady who’s also a good mate, but he’s scared of getting it wrong. Jim thinks he should go for it – nothing ventured, nothing gained!
