The setup: Jack’s been out all night and winds up at the Rachel’s. But now his conscience is getting to him at how bad Sarah’s been hurt, it was never meant to turn out this way. Jack disappoints Rachel that they can’t be together now.

Scene 1: Robert is asking about breakfast as well as where Jack is. Sarah tells him there won’t be any bonfire or fireworks after all. His constant questions about where Jack’s gone and whether they’ve had a row lead to Sarah yelling at Robert to leave her alone.

Robert: Dad never said he was going away.

Sarah: Didn’t he?

Robert: Never said goodbye...

Sarah: For heaven sakes Robert, would you just leave me alone! I’m sorry.

The rest of the episode focuses on the fallout of the affair coming to light. Jack and Sarah’s ‘talk’ is found here.

The setup: Sarah confronts Rachel at the tea room’s kitchen. She’s stolen her husband, made a habit of it hasn’t she? It wasn’t planned, they fell in love, blah blah blah. Rachel also saying how Jack wasn’t happy with Sarah anymore. Well fine, Rachel’s welcome to Jack, Sarah won’t put up a fight.

Sarah: Oh don’t kid yourself Rachel. You wanted him because he belonged to somebody else.

The lovely slap can be found here.

Scene 2: Robert is watching the fireworks until Jack shows up and Sarah has him and Victoria go into the house. Jack spouting how he made a mistake, one he’ll regret the rest of his life. She won’t give Jack a chance, she’s seeing her solicitor.

Jack: Oh god Sarah. So everyone knows about it now...

Sarah: I’m seeing my solicitor. You have to know that I have no intention of leaving the marital home.

Jack: What?

Sarah: You can carry on working the farm till we’ve sorting things out but, I never want you to come near me again.

Jack: It doesn’t have to be like this you know.

Sarah: And I want you to stay away from the children until we’ve sorted things out.

Jack: They’re my kids too, Sarah. You can’t stop me from seeing them.

Sarah: Can’t I?
