he tells her that he and Sarah have some things to sort out.
Danny
thanks Jack for his help and tells him that Francis needs an operation but can't
afford it. Jack talks to Dr Reeve; Frances' consultant and asks why Frances
isn't down to have the operation. Reeve tells him that Frances' chances after
the operation are minimal. Danny
gives Jack a lift back to Cardale, however when they reach Frances' house Jack's
tyres have been stolen - Danny promises to get them back for him.
Will and
Sarah go to the bank for a meeting - they need to cut back on their spending.

to go.
SARAH:
How can I not spend?
WILL:
You're behaving like a spoilt little girl
Beth is
unhappy with Jack for talking to Reeve about Frances' operation. Jack is adamant
that Frances should have the operation as he has seen it work in Africa. Beth
grows concerned when Frances' mum Rita, says she wants Frances to have the
operation privately. Beth tells Jack that he has the community hanging on his
every word expecting a miracle for Frances - she says she hopes he can deliver.

Jack isn't right for me. The thing is the whole thing's just....life's too
complicated

Thing is Beth - Life's too short

Do you fancy some company?
JACK:
Yeah, if you think Sarah won't mind
WILL:
I'm sleeping on the sofa Jack. I don't think Sarah's going to notice
