Oliver Marsh, Simon's globe-trotting uncle, makes a surprise late-night visit, captivating Vicky with stories of his numerous adventures. Simon however is weary of this "black sheep" of the family who is notorious for being long on promises and short on money. Tensions between Brendan and Molly are palpable as they each struggle to cope with their son's death. Brendan is very distant and cold towards Molly, when he brings her home from the hospital he avoids so much as touching her and keeps Chloe away from her. When Simon drops in for a visit, he can sense the obvious strain in their relationship despite Molly's attempts at masking it. Simon attempts to talk to Brendan after he is dragged out to the club but Brendan only storms out after ranting on about Molly's irresponsible behaviour. Returning to the farm, Brendan is upset to see Molly has packed up everything that was in the baby's room. Molly finally stands up to Brendan and tells him she won't stand for him judging her. Brendan responds by saying all the right things but his sincerity is clearly questionable.
