Frustration builds for Henry, and Brad has a confession to make.

George tells Mia that Ed and Emma can’t stand being in the same room as him; however, the feeling’s mutual.  When George asks about Brad, Mia won’t talk about him.  Later, George asks Brad how he’s upset Mia.  Brad admits he’s worried that the bad experience he had with Paige will be repeated with Mia.  He’s frightened of getting hurt again.  George points out that Mia really likes Brad, and he needs to talk to her.  Later Brad tells Mia about Paige and why he’s been holding back. Mia admits she’s doing the same thing; she was hurt by someone she had a crush on.  They say how much they like each other and agree the relationship’s back on.  
Helen and Lee look at some photos of Johnny and Freddie having a good time in Lisbon.  Lee’s distracted and admits he doesn't think Helen should keep Rob’s condition from Jack and Henry.  He knows how hard it is to be separated from his daughters.  Helen counters that Rob deserves no consideration from them.  But Lee thinks Miles has a point, and Jack could end up really resenting Helen.  Helen’s adamant - Rob’s utterly toxic, and she knows what’s best for her children.  Henry unexpectedly appears, wondering whether they were arguing about Rob, but Helen won’t talk about it.  Later George bumps into angry Henry who opens up about Helen and Lee treating him like an idiot.  George advises Henry to ignore what his parents say and do what he wants to do, but make sure he doesn’t get caught.

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