Kirsty struggles to keep the peace, while Pat and Tony question recent events.

Worried Lee discusses with Kirsty the possibility of being suspended from work.  When Kirsty points out that Rob’s agreed to the Community Resolution Order, Lee explains that it was before Rob’s seizure. What if Lee’s found guilty of grievous bodily harm? He would lose his job and couldn’t visit his daughters in the States.
Tony and Pat struggle to absorb the news that Helen visited Rob on Friday and think Helen should’ve left it to the solicitors. When Helen explains she went to stop Rob getting access to Jack, Tony and Pat are further frustrated to discover that Rob still wants to see Jack.  Helen explains she felt sick seeing Rob, but she did it so that Rob could hear from her that he can’t win this time. Helen then tells them about Rob’s seizure.  Her reason for going to hospital with him was because she’s worried that it might be due to his scuffle with Lee.  When Tony and Pat tell Helen not to see Rob again, angry Helen tells them she’s better off dealing with it on her own.  Afterwards Pat despairs but Tony counsels staying strong and being there when Helen needs them.
Later Helen tells Lee and Kirsty that it couldn’t have gone any worse with her parents.  When Kirsty tries to talk Helen round to seeing her parents’ point of view, Helen counters it just shows they haven’t seen how far she’s come.  Anyway, she hasn’t time to worry about it because she needs to concentrate on discovering what Rob’s going to do next.

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