Nic speaks to Emma. From Nic's past experience struggling to make ends meet as a single mother, she understands the pressures of money worries and how Ed and Emma might not want to admit that they need help. Emma relays the conversation to Ed, but he is adamant that Will shouldn't be allowed any extra time with his son.
