- Jennifer brings Phoebe to the hospital, where she finds Hayley cheerful and positive. Abbie is no longer under the special lamp, and Hayley is finding it easier to look after her. When Roy arrives, he is tired and stressed, so he waits on the ward while the others go down to see Abbie.
- Jennifer tells Peggy about her ultimatum to Brian. Peggy is understanding, and supports Jennifer’s stand. But Jennifer isn’t at all sure that Brian takes her threat seriously. Even Jack can see that Peggy’s upset over Jennifer when she gets home, though Peggy makes light of it.
