Lucy is studying and Helen asks her how it's going. Helen has managed to get her hair fixed from her recent colour disaster.

There's a knock at the door and Lucy tells Helen to close her eyes as it's a surprise. It certainly is a surprise - it's Rosemary! Helen hugs her excitedly and insists that Rosemary stays with them. Rosemary gives her a Mexican antique plate as a present, but Helen doesn't seem to like it very much. Rosemary sympathises with Helen about the Michael thing and says that neither of them have much of a track record with men.

Rosemary asks after Paul - she has cut all ties with the Henson group.

Toby is sitting on the pavement outside No.32 with Bouncer, crying. Doug comes along and gives him a hankerchief. Toby tells him about the overseas and is confused that they're taking Sky. Doug says he knows it's disappointing, but explains that Sky is too young to stay with anyone else, and at least Toby will be there for Bouncer. He says Toby could stay with him and Pam if he wants. Toby perks up and decides to try to be mature about the situation.
