When she's gone, Des asks Mike again if he's sure he knows what he's taking on with Jenny and Mike says he has - he'll be with Jenny for as long as she needs him. Des says carefully that he doesn't think Mike has looked past tomorrow - there are practicalities like how Mike is going to support Jenny. Des says there are places Jenny can go for rehabilitation and retraining and they could help her better. He thinks Mike should think about it. Jenny overhears this last bit.
