Jai invites a giddy Laurel for lunch in the pub. David tells Leyla he was up until 3am talking to Jacob on the games console. Leyla isn't sure they should be encouraging Jacob to sit all day on the games console but David believes it's worth it if he gets the chance to speak to Jacob. Doug is agony due to his bad back so Brenda suggests he sees a doctor. At Wishing Well Cottage, Sam reads a letter from Lydia telling him that she's left him. Sam cannot believe it. David continues to communicate with Jacob via the games console. He explains to Leyla that he's told Jacob he's at university in the hopes that it might inspire Jacob to do something with his life.
