She likens the situation to Len's death on his way back from seeing his mistress. Kirk takes Fiz for another driving lesson. After another major falling-out, Fiz declares she doesn't want to learn to drive any more. Feeling guilty over her secret plans, Rosie gives Sally a hug. Sally's touched. Audrey visits Fred in the chapel of rest. She talks candidly of her love for him and how sorry she is for causing him such a dilemma. Gail's relieved, realising there was no affair going on.
