Jakob catches up with Adam, commenting that Brian and Kate are still barely speaking to each other. Jakob wishes he\u2019d handled it differently when he discovered Alice\u2019s drinking. Adam\u2019s supportive; Jakob did what he thought was best at the time. Adam\u2019s not sure whether Alice wants to stop drinking, although she\u2019s agreed not to drink at Honeysuckle.

But later Alice tells Lisa that she\u2019s only ringing because Adam told her to. She doesn\u2019t want to get back on track, because it\u2019s too late for her.

Afterwards when Adam asks how it went Alice says she\u2019s an alcoholic and no-one can change that \u2013 she\u2019s done.
