The Carters attempt to put their differences aside as Stan's condition deteriorates. Carol struggles to process the news about Jim and takes her anger out on Max. As Shirley wakes by Stan’s bedside, she’s distressed when it sounds like Stan’s saying he’s in pain, and tells Cora to fetch a nurse. Mick and Tina arrive at the hospice and are concerned when the nurse tells them that Stan deteriorated in the night. The pair are further unimpressed when Shirley emerges – annoyed she didn’t inform them. The nurse tries to reassure Shirley that Stan isn’t in pain – but Shirley’s adamant about what she heard. The nurse suggests that it could be terminal agitation – it would be surprising if he held on for much more than a day or two.
