This episode focuses on the highs and lows of relationships and the power of family ties to endure against the odds. Long-distance lorry driver Neil, who's 52, has fallen backwards off a ramp onto a concrete floor. His family is 200 miles away in Middlesbrough and unaware of his accident. While Neil is sent for an urgent CT scan, his ex-wife Heather describes how, after 20 years together and two wonderful children, she and Neil began to drift apart and eventually separated. Nevertheless, she admits that she'll always be there for him. The CT scan shows that Neil has not sustained any serious injuries from his fall but, unexpectedly, it reveals a large tumour on his brain.
