Whilst Jean has decided to hide away before she gets her biopsy results, she has left her family worried about her, especially her daughter Stacey.

Throughout the episode Stacey tried to contact her mother.

After remaining silent Jean eventually answered the phone to her daughter who told her mum that she missed her and that the house wasn’t the same without her.

She also told her that her granddaughter Lily had won a prize at school.

Whilst Jean admitted she saw the photo Stacey had sent and she was “so proud”, she told her she did not want to come home and that she was safe.
