Fecha de emisión: Sept 14, 2011

Everyone’s excited about the biopic of Henry’s life being filmed at the Elysian – everyone, that is, except Henry. He’s not interested in who or what he was. He’s interested in who he is now. And in Suzy, who gets dragged into the madness as an extra. But as per usual when Henry’s around, she winds up distracted and the director winds up very, very wet - and very unimpressed. Meanwhile, the kids are on the move. Elvis is off to boarding school in London. Henry has some words of wisdom for him. And Verity wants to spend all her time at Steve’s house. Jennifer is delighted.

Things have a tendency to go ever so slightly awry. But Jonquil’s ceremony is, for once, a great success. The King vanishes and the acolytes are freed. She should be flushed with triumph, but unable to see them move on, she is blissfully unaware. So why is she behaving so … eccentrically? Things aren’t so rosy between Helen and her ghost lover, Robbie. Robbie is convinced that Helen’s inability to see or hear him has driven her into the arms of someone else. His worst nightmare. A living, breathing, corporeal man. Suzy tries to assuage his fears, but he grows more bitter and more convinced of Helen’s infidelity until Helen herself confesses. And
