Emma wants to know how Howard is after the incident with Gary Lucas then discovers from Mrs Tembe he's called in sick. Rob mentions Howard was in a state the day before, and had the same thing a couple of weeks ago, then tells her Imogen went through a similar phase when she was 14 - it's clear Rob thinks Howard has Bulimia. Emma calls round to see Howard, who she finds pale and sweating among a mess of food wrappers.

Emma struggles to contain her shock but finally pulls herself together and takes charge, sending Howard for a shower while she cleans up. Later, Howard opens up, explaining he's suffered for years, on and off. Emma advises Howard to prepare a battle plan - he's strong enough to beat this!
