Helen is in an awkward position, and Rex looks out for a friend.

Rex is keen to get the wine stain erased from Jakob鈥檚 kitchen floor, but Erik is relaxed about it. He鈥檒l tidy up before he leaves; Rex should chill out. Rex is needled, and when Erik apologises for upsetting him he admits it鈥檚 because Erik reminds him of his own brother Toby. In turn Erik shares that Rex sometimes puts him in mind of Jakob. They chat about the frustrations they feel about their respective brothers, which helps them get a clearer perspective. Even though they handle things very differently, Rex misses his brother. Erik admits to feeling disappointed at not seeing Jakob on this visit. Rex declares it鈥檚 a reason for Erik to make a return trip. Erik says he never sticks around anywhere for long. He and Kirsty are keeping it casual. Rex hopes Kirsty knows that.
Pat expresses her sympathy at Lee鈥檚 situation with his daughters. Lee affirms he鈥檚 going to fight their departure with everything he鈥檚 got. To Helen鈥檚 concern, he declares he鈥檚 already sought legal advice. Privately to her mum Helen reveals she thinks moving abroad could represent a fantastic opportunity for the girls. She wants to be supportive, but recognises Lee鈥檚 not seeing the bigger picture. She gently raises this with Lee. He admits tearfully that he has thought about the benefits for the girls. He doesn鈥檛 mean to be selfish but he can鈥檛 bear to let them go. He wouldn鈥檛 cope. Reluctant Helen promises to stand by him.
