Harrison faces a difficult negotiation, and Stella puts her foot in it.

Stella checks with Pip and Ruth about their dinner plans for tomorrow, then asks Ruth about Hannah becoming a lodger at the Bungalow. Pip is thrown, pointing out Stella’s only known Hannah since the quiz on Monday. Ruth and Stella joke that moving home is best done quickly. When Pip stalks off, Stella asks Ruth if she thinks Pip’s OK. She wants Ruth to know, she takes her relationship with Pip seriously. Stella is nervous however, about making dinner and they laugh at Stella’s culinary ineptitude. 

Later, when Ruth asks Pip what’s the matter, she admits she’s fed up with her parents getting too involved in her life. It felt like she was being laughed at earlier and she accuses Ruth of having a problem with her and Stella being together. 

Harrison takes a work call when he’s with Alan. Miles has reported that Rob is sitting on a traffic island outside Borchester and will only talk to Harrison. When Harrison gets there Miles explains that Rob got out of the car while they were on their way into Borchester. Harrison goes over to Rob, who says he’s waiting for Jesus to heal him. But he co-operates when Harrison points out he’s disrupting the traffic, which would prevent Jesus from reaching him.  

After Rob’s been brought to safety, Harrison tells Miles that Rob can’t be left alone. Miles suggests he could take Rob back with him to Hampshire, and wonders whether Rob’s account of being the innocent victim of Helen is really how things were.

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