Tom makes a surprising offer, and Lynda finds herself a new task.

Lynda mentions to Eddie that he and his family haven’t done much towards the fete. He says actually Mia suggested Lynda might want to research a souvenir brochure about its history.  Lynda hasn’t time, but later shows Eddie some old fete photos.  When Eddie asks if she’s going to do the brochure, Lynda retorts she’s already started.
Helen apologises to Tom for being so distant and asks if he paid her solicitor’s bill. Tom says it came from Seren and Nova’s modelling job. It’s just a loan; he’ll pay them back.  They hug, saying they’ve missed each other.
Rob and Lee meet, and Rob apologises for the problems he’s created. Lee’s grateful Rob’s dropped the Community Resolution Order.  Rob was completely thrown when Tom turned up out of the blue, but knows it was unforgivable reporting Lee to the police.  His biggest regret is not being around to see his boys grow up.  When Lee takes offence, Rob back-pedals saying Lee must think of the boys as his now.  Rob asks Lee about his daughters, saying Lee must miss them. It’s how Rob feels about Jack and Henry.  Rob knows Helen’s never going to let him see Jack again, but not a day goes past when Rob doesn’t think of him.
Later Lee tells Helen that Rob was friendly and apologetic.  But Helen’s not buying it, saying Rob doesn’t care about anyone.  Lee realises that talking about his daughters has made him really miss them.  Helen’s supportive when Lee declares he wants to visit them sooner than planned.
