Robert is horrified by Andy’s admission that he was responsible for starting the fire that killed his mother. Unable to come to terms with the revelation, he flees the house desperate to get as far away from his adopted brother as possible.

Seeing his son’s desperate escape, Jack confronts Andy and is furious to discover why Robert is so upset. Fearing for Robert’s state of mind, Jack begins a desperate search for him.

He enlists Richie’s help, but Turner is less than happy when Jack interrupts his romantic meal with Diane and asks them to look after Victoria while he continues his search.

As afternoon turns in to evening, Jack finally discovers where Robert has been hiding. He tries to persuade him to return home, but Robert tells him that he will not live in the same house as Andy.

Jack suggests that he could arrange for him to stay with his grandmother in Spain for a while. He is heartbroken when Robert agrees, but demands to leave that night.
