Tony is talking to Helen about the 10-acre land sale. She worries that Miles Titchener and his father plan to build a house close to her, Jack and Henry. When Tony reveals that Miles has bought the land at Rob’s request as part of Jack’s inheritance. Helen is shocked, wondering out loud why she hasn’t heard anything and what it means for Henry. She immediately calls Miles to clarify. Once the phone call is over she tells Tony that there is not a penny for Henry – Jack is the sole beneficiary with Miles as executor. She says bitterly that Rob is determined to drive a wedge between her two sons, despite his insistence that they were a family- even wanting to adopt Henry.
