Billy says. Karl decides he can't have gone too far, and they go outside and call out for him. Karl and Susan walk off calling for him while Billy, Anne and Lance wonder where he's gone.

Ruth tells him it's a shame as they've only got just got back together, but she doesn't want to put any pressure on him in anyway,

RUTH: (massaging his shoulders) I just thought we could spend some time alone, just the two of us, by ourselves.
PHIL: Maybe I have been a little hasty.

HANNAH: Great, now I'll never get to see her.
PHIL: I miss her too you know. More probably. I mean she didn't pinch my clothes or punch me.
HANNAH: Doesn't she love us anymore?
PHIL: Well she doesn't love us any less, so lets not be silly, okay?

He says it does mean they can't go to the health farm as Debbie can't look after Hannah. Ruth says it's a shame, but that Hannah could with them. Phil isn't sure. "Come on dad.
