Oliver and Ian await the arrival at Grey Gables of the new temporary manager, who’s late. Oliver lists his credentials and Ian admits he does sound very good. Ian reckons he’ll run a tight ship; Oliver thinks that’s just what they’re looking for/need. Dane arrives and proves to be chatty and quirky. Both Ian and Oliver are slightly stunned. Dane’s a breath of fresh air, but not quite what either of them was expecting.

Natasha prompts Tom to tell Helen about Henry hiding his phone from her. He does so and Helen tackles Henry in a quiet moment as he makes a birthday card for Jack. He’s defensive at first, worrying that Helen will be mad at him. Eventually he admits he was checking up on some of the names in a dating app Helen’s joined. Helen’s shocked Henry’s been looking at her phone, but understands when it becomes clear he’s fearful for her safety. She reassures him, reminding him that it’s her job to look after him, not the other way round. She puts Natasha and Tom in the picture. Natasha’s excited that Helen’s online dating, though equally shocked at Henry’s actions. Tom thinks it's quite sweet – Henry’s obviously looking out for Helen. Helen points out Henry’s clearly worried about the possibility of another Rob. Tom doesn’t think so. But Helen reckons she’ll delete the dating app. Natasha persuades her to give it a chance. It’s great Helen’s being proactive about finding someone. Natasha’s happy to be her wingwoman; it’s very exciting.
