Zoe goes to visit Seth in hospital and tells him that she knows what has caused his illness. Sarah insists on having a night out without Jack. Kathy decides that it is not right going out with Chris so soon after Jackie's death but Nick convinces her to go. Amos is still puzzled by the dead goldfish and Nick spreads a rumour about mink killing fish. Kathy looks at Jackie's photograph and decides not to go on her date; she calls to see Rachel who's babysitting Robert. They discuss Chris.
