Joy isn鈥檛 herself at all, and Helen considers her options.

Helen can鈥檛 believe Justin appears to be dictating the future of the rewilding. Kirsty reckons Justin鈥檚 mellowed, but she鈥檚 still very wary. She reports all is proceeding with the Willow Farm purchase. Helen鈥檚 pleased for her. She鈥檚 fine about living with Tom and Natasha for a while. She鈥檚 no longer annoyed at them for not keeping her in the picture about wanting the house. It鈥檚 how they operate. She doesn鈥檛 want to move back to the farmhouse with her parents. She needs to be living her life on her own terms before she can move on. Kirsty understands.

Tom wants Helen鈥檚 house key to do some measuring up. She suggests he gets the spare from Joy. She asks Tom if he can look at some homework Henry鈥檚 struggling with. That鈥檚 fine, says Tom. Mick鈥檚 preparing to get in the hot tub and surprises Tom by appearing in just a towel. Mick gives him the key and Joy offers their assistance if he needs anything; they鈥檙e looking forward to his family moving in. Tom asks that they don鈥檛 make any noise after 7pm. Affronted Mick assures him they鈥檙e not loud people. Later Mick and Joy have been disturbed by Tom鈥檚 squealing girls in Helen鈥檚 garden, and they acknowledge it鈥檒l be different having little ones next door. Later Tom鈥檚 reluctant to return the key but Joy insists. Mick admires her tenacity. He can鈥檛 see Rochelle getting on with Tom. He mentions the chemistry between Rochelle and Rex, but Joy brusquely brushes this off. Mick asserts everyone deserves a bit of happiness.
