When David learns that Jennifer's threatening to divorce Brian, he tries to be practical and reminds Brian of everything that Jennifer's done to keep the family together. Brian doesn't want a divorce but he's not prepared to sacrifice Ruairi's future.

David tells Ruth, who sympathises with Jennifer. David thinks Brian's being ridiculous, and acknowledges that there's no point thinking about the digester scheme while this is going on.

Caroline can't believe Roy's back working but realises it's what Roy needs to do to take his mind off the dread of losing Abbie.

Hayley and Roy are overwhelmed with Abbie and try hard to be positive. Hayley thinks Phoebe should meet Abbie so that if the worst happens, then at least she's had the chance to get to know her sister. Roy brings Phoebe to hospital and Hayley explains about Abbie's problems. Phoebe's fine and doesn't seem bothered by all Abbie's tubes. But when Phoebe asks why Abbie's eyes are yellow, it's Roy and Hayley who have to try to stay calm. Roy insists that Abbie's fine. She just needs a few more tests.
