It’s a new day and Robert learns from Jack that Andy is still focused on Daz rather than him luckily. Robert is surprised Diane is back at the pub, not so permanent after all then but gives Jack the perfect reason to see her again. Katie continues to play the victim to Daz’s lies to a believing Andy. Katie shows up at Robert’s to fill him in about Daz. He has no regrets about Daz’s situation, he ‘brought it on himself’ and better him than their lives being ruined. Daz tries to appeal to Robert to tell the truth. Sorry, won’t happen.

Jack & Diane scenes. Jack’s in a bit of the doldrums over Diane and not being able to express himself properly. Diane shows up to tell Jack she’s moving to Brighton. Jack accuses her of turning everything into her problem, having the whole weight of the world on her shoulders. She’s only running away and too scared to admit it. In the end, Jack, out of the blue, proposes to Diane and gives her a day to make her decision.

Oh, for heaven’s sake. Will it ever end with that boy.

No Robert, focus on Daz. Jack shows up at the farm which gives Andy the chance to vent to him about Daz and telling him about the lies about Robert and Katie. Jack offers his advice while Andy admits he likes Daz being his brother but being his provider… it’s for the better for Daz in the end. Keith Dobbs is there to take Daz who is devastated as Andy promised to take care of him, to stand by him no matter what and that he’s being punished for having done nothing wrong but tell the truth.
