Rob has to head off to Hampshire to be with his wife leaving Helen bereft.

Radio Times: Helen feels vulnerable, and Rob gets an important telephone call.

Rob and Helen still seem very much involved when they meet at his cottage. Though Debbie is annoying Rob on a flying visit. But then a call comes from Jess and he has to head off to see his step-father.
Caroline is finally beginning the process of recruiting for the Health Club manager *coughs quietly* step forward Kathy. The solicitors are also writing to Joe with an offer which she hopes he will accept. And once the next Local Authority meeting is over they might be able to move forward. Kathy turns up serendipitously for a swim and makes a suggestion which impresses Lynda.
Kirsty is thrilled to be back with Tom. It feels like coming home. He is being so thoughtful, even bringing her breakfast in bed. Helen admits she is finding it horrible being the other woman. She knows Rob had to go to Hampshire but she can’t believe that Jess and Rob can have the same bond that she does with him. Kirsty points out that as a married man he is bound to put her first.
Lynda points out to Caroline that Kathy is the ideal candidate for Health Club Manager. It would be a step down but she might be interested on a temporary basis. There is only one way to find out.
