Unknown to their parents Henry and Khalil bunk off school to go to the demo at Borsetshire Water. Tony’s still worried about Pat going in case there’s any trouble, but wishes her and Emma luck. Dressed as toilet rolls Emma and Pat join in with the chants while waiting for Borsetshire Water board members to arrive. They spot Henry and Khalil, who insist they’re doing the right thing by skipping school for a worthy cause. Nevertheless, Pat insists on calling worried Helen and Akram to let them know where the boys are.

Later at the demo, Tony introduces himself to Akram, who’s concerned Khalil will miss an important medical appointment. They find Pat and Emma with Henry and Khalil, who are disappointed the board members haven’t turned up and it’s all rather low key. Tony and Akram take the boys away, just as Pat and Emma spot a protestor accosting a worker. It’s not the sort of action Pat feels comfortable with. But Emma persuades her that simply being there, making their feelings known, is important and worth doing.

Henry apologises to Tony that he had to come and get him, and for upsetting Helen. Henry admits he knows Tony was the one who found John when he died. Henry’s happy to wait until Tony’s ready to teach him tractor driving.

At the oncology clinic Khalil defends himself against Akram’s accusations that he shouldn’t have risked missing his appointment. Khalil hates being the sick boy, then admits how scared he is that his cancer could come back, despite Akram’s assurances that it won’t.
