The ramifications continue at Brookfield.

The ramifications continue at Brookfield, and Kirsty lends a hand.

David and Ruth continue to try to understand what’s happening with Ben while he sleeps upstairs. David worries Ben will return to the state he was in on Friday and he still won’t know how to help. Ruth takes Bess up to be with Ben and then she and David talk about Katie, Ben’s home treatment nurse. Ruth warns David about looking for information online; she thinks he’d be better off talking to Elizabeth who has experienced depression. 
Joy hosts Mick and Kirsty as they practise for Jolene’s choir – she and Mick aren’t seeing much of one another what with being on rival choirs. Mick complains about Jolene’s expectations of her choir, but Kirsty points out Jolene gets cross with him because he’s often disrupting the rehearsal. 
Joy brings refreshments for Kirsty and Mick. Mick teases Kirsty for being as persistent as Jolene in her coaching of him but then admits that without her he’d have given up the choir – they’ve had a lot of fun.  
After earlier dropping off a cake made by Jill, Leonard calls again at Brookfield, this time with his Lord of the Rings books which Ben had taken interest in previously. Before heading off he mentions he’d love to see Ben when he’s up to it. David reports his chat with Elizabeth to Ruth: Elizabeth says they both need to take care of themselves as well as Ben. They agree that’s easier said than done.
