'Hurt'
It's Cherry's first day back at work and she doesn't want any fuss. However, when Michelle gives her a thoughtful gift she is overcome with emotion. Jimmi shows his award off to anyone who'll look, but doesn't take kindly when Julia suggests the fame is going to his head.

Julia despairs at the list Ocean left her with instructions how to 'attach' to Marlin. She makes him a vegan breakfast and struggles with a tribal wrap. Ruth tries to help in between packing for her new house, but Julia is not impressed; Marlin looks ill and she's getting him checked out. Michelle admits that Marlin is fine much to Julia's chagrin, so Julia mentions his diet to Heston.

Heston is horrified and tells her to get some meat down him. At home Julia sneakily feeds Marlin a shepherd's pie. Ocean sees her and loses it; she knew Julia would interfere with her mothering techniques. Well she's had enough!

Meanwhile, it's three years since Ann's (30) daughter and husband were killed in a hit and run accident. She still struggles to sleep and waits outside her daughter's school in the mornings. It's there that she suddenly sees the man who murdered her family. She follows him home and is horrified to see he has children of his own. At the Mill she begs Heston for sleeping tablets but he refuses and realises she's come off her anti-depressants which previously helped her sleep.

Ann leaves, angry that she hasn't got the tablets. She lays flowers by the side of the road and then calls the campus making another appointment. Karen tells Heston and when Ann arrives at the Campus she's shocked to find Heston waiting for her. He stops her from walking out and gets her to talk. Ann explains how desperate she is and talks of the murderer of her family; how can he walk free whilst she is dead inside?

She walks out and Heston despairs to Jimmi about her case. Jimmi stresses how bad this is potentially; a depressed woman discovering the man who killed her family has been released early and is living around the corner! Heston calls Ann, and she picks up telling him it's too late. He rushes to the estate she said the murderer lived on and finds her sat in her car. Heston asks what she's going to do? Will revenge really help?

He calms her and convinces her to seek counselling; however when Heston walks back to his car Ann seizes the opportunity and speeds towards the man in her car. Heston manages to pull the man (Peter) out of the way just in time. He's fine but loses it at Ann; what was she trying to do?

Ann is in shock and when the man leaves she tells Heston she got the wrong man. Shaken at how close she came to ruining so many lives Ann breaks down and agrees to accept Heston's help.
