Mick鈥檚 feelings are hurt, and Tom faces a tricky negotiation.
Helen thanks Tom for helping Henry with his homework. Bewildered Tom says he didn鈥檛, but Helen鈥檚 gone. Later Tom finds Henry abrupt with him for seemingly ignoring his email, and when he tries to explain Henry cuts him short. Kirsty helped him with his homework; he鈥檚 handed it in now. If Tom didn鈥檛 know enough about it he should have said. Henry goes to check on the goats, leaving Tom wondering what鈥檚 going on. He catches up with Henry but Helen arrives before he can speak to him. Helen senses the atmosphere and finally Henry admits he didn鈥檛 like the way Tom bought the Beechwood house over Helen鈥檚 head. It鈥檚 not okay to do that to family. Chastened Tom offers apologies, which Henry accepts.
Mick tries to comfort Joy and get to the bottom of the issues with Rochelle. Meanwhile Rochelle announces she鈥檚 leaving. She came here for comfort and instead feels judged. Mick pleads with her to give her mum a chance, but Rochelle asserts she has nothing left. Refusing Joy鈥檚 help, she accepts a lift to the bus station with Mick. On the journey Rochelle insists Joy isn鈥檛 the person everyone thinks she is. Their life stopped when her dad left. Her mum鈥檚 toxic and Mick needs to get out while he can. Later Mick hears Joy鈥檚 side of the story. Rochelle鈥檚 a drifter, easily distracted and leaves the minute things get tricky. Mick ventures that Joy might have made things worse by interfering. Joy counters that Mick wouldn鈥檛 understand; he doesn鈥檛 have children. Offended, Mick leaves.
