Andy and Katie are on the bridge. Katie sees Robert as ‘alright’ but Andy puts him down as only being friendly when it suits him and resents him since he isn’t Jack’s blood and gets on better with him, that’s what it’s all about (how about you killing his mum?). Meanwhile, Robert helps Jack with the tractor and again brings up Katie being ‘pretty fit’ (sorry, again him harping on her being fit is not him). Jack’s laughing and happy Robert’s back and that he’s buried the hatchet with Andy (yeah, in his back 😂). Robert and Victoria having fun together who demands Robert take her to get ready to bed not Andy. Andy refuses to sleep in the same room as Robert and issues a warning that he won’t come between him and Jack or force him off the farm.

Robert: What you doing anyway?

Andy: Sleeping downstairs.

Robert: What for?

Andy: Well, I’m a bit choosy about who I share a room with nowadays.

Robert: That’s a bit childish, innit?

Andy: Yeah, well you’d know all about that wouldn’t ya?

Jack continues to be happy to see his sons mates again withRobert having gone to Spain done a world of good (sure, a few weeks to get over his brother killing his mum and all honky dory 🙄😂) . Andy tries to get Jack to consider Robert is lying about Annie while Robert assures Jack Annie’s fine just a bit forgetful at times. Katie meets Robert who doesn’t recall her from school but does her brother, Sam. Jack admits to Robert he can’t bear losing another son like he did Jackie. Robert offers to give Jack a hand since Andy is otherwise engaged with Katie.

Jack: It wasn’t easy for me with you away.

Robert: I had to go, dad.

Jack: I know but… I lost one son when Jackie died. I honestly don’t think I could bear the thought of losing another.

Robert: Don’t worry. You’re not gonna lose me. I’ll always be there for ya.

Jack: And me for you. (a rare hug)
