He promises that he will do so, and demands a divorce from Amy. Amy is shocked and distraught, while Brian becomes angry with his father.
Finally, Amy invites Jim and Georgie back to the Prestons' flat in order to confront them. The meeting does not end well, with Amy throwing them both out. Jim leaves, but has second thoughts about leaving his family behind. He makes the decision to return to his wife and son, who cautiously accept him back.
