Waking up to the enormity of his decision, Peter calls his brother Barry for advice. Kayla is unimpressed when she realises that she is expected to help with their new guest. After another home visit from the community health nurse, Peter is told that it's not safe for his mother to live alone. Troubled by this - and the woman staying in his house - Peter goes to work, driving Fran's son Kieran and his friend Pippa to the hydrotherapy pool.
