Jo wants Mac to lend her money so she won’t have to sell her house – as Noah has failed his exams. Jo is appalled, but Brian thinks real work would scare Noah back to school, and takes him out on the job. Catherine’s honest opinions on Noah and Jo don’t go down well. Mac finds Brian is going to offer Noah an apprenticeship. He and Jo come round to the idea, and Mac offers to buy into Jo’s house. Michelle, scared of David, decides not to go ahead with her complaint. But Richard’s outrage on her behalf emboldens her. David delivers Michelle’s notes to Catherine with a warning. Catherine finds Jo waltzing into the house again and they have an angry showdown. Michelle is dismayed to find David has lied in his notes. But she goes ahead with her complaint, with the support of the man she loves, Richard.
