Saturn's Return
Henry is on a break and sees Gina kissing Ray outside a hotel. When he catches up with Gina, he discovers that she's been having an affair with Ray for the past 2 years.
Road to recovery
Gina has agreed to stop seeing Ray and to try and make a go of things with Marco for Joe's sake. They try their best to play happy families but they're all pretty miserable. Ray catches Gina on her way to work and she agrees to meet him in the park at 2 o'clock. She tells him she'll never leave Joe but Ray tells her she doesn't have to. She has to leave to pick Joe up from school but Ray offers to take her in the car. When they get stuck in traffic, Joe decides to walk to the Blue Sky Bar on his own. When they eventually make it to the bar, Gina rushes out to Joe and Marco calmly tells Ray thanks for the lift and to f**k off!
Talking to myself
Jim arrives at Gina's to see Joe. He's suprised and less than delighted to find Ray in the kitchen. Gina invites Jim to lunch on Sunday but he doesn't seem keen. Feeling uncomfortable, Ray makes an excuse of needing to ring work and leaves the room. Gina explains to her grandfather that Ray hadn't spent the night, he'd only come round that morning to see if she was okay. She reassures him that she would never want to hurt Joe and that she loves Ray. Reluctantly, Jim agrees to come for dinner on sunday. As it's the weekend Marco has Joe, but Gina doesn't want to leave the house or do anything because she feels guilty. After an aborted trip to the cinema, Ray tells Gina that Joe is fine with his dad and she doesn't have to feel guilty.
Henry fails to show for lunch on sunday, leaving Heather and Jim to assess
Ray! He makes a bad start when Heather asks him if he has any children
and he replies that he doesn't, but after all they have Joe. Realising
his mistake, he goes outside for a breather. When he comes back in,
he apologises and says that he's not trying to replace anyone, he just
loves Gina.
My name belongs to you
Ray doesn't want to go to Marshall and Clare's wedding, he doesn't know them and he doesn't want anyone to point him out as the marriage wrecker. Gina and Marco agree to attend the ceremony together with Joe, although neither of them is comfortable with the idea. Ray changes his mind and later turns up at the reception, where Joe teaches him how to use a camcorder and he responds with a very bad Bart Simpson impression!:: LINKS ::
