Phil takes a deep breath and begins to reveal the truth to Kate. He casts his mind back to Portugal, when he'd gone in pursuit of Lisa. He was at his hotel, anxiously waiting for news of her whereabouts. Lisa and Louise are playing on the beach when a woman shouts 'Mary' at Lisa. This is the name that Lisa's calling herself. They chat about babies and Lisa reveals that it's Louise's first birthday. A man who introduces himself as Dom strikes up a conversation with Lisa. He's charming and manages to find out where Lisa's staying. Lisa's new female friend teases Lisa about her attraction to this stranger. Phil's killing time with a nosey hotel guest when his phone rings. Lisa and Louise have been found. He springs into action and orders a cot for his room, announcing that his family will be staying with him. |
