Nigel had an honest chat with Yolande and while she tried to reassure him, he returned home and told Julie that he couldn\u2019t go to India.<\/p>\n

He explained that he could no longer even rely on the familiarity of his routine at home, so wouldn\u2019t be able to cope with an adventure in a different country.<\/p>\n

When Julie tried to reason with him and make light of the situation, Nigel snapped and accused her of treating him like a child<\/a> before storming out.<\/p>\n

Nigel had secretly found the spare key to his motor, so he headed to the car lot and got behind the wheel to go for a drive alone.<\/p>\n

He soon became overwhelmed and caused a commotion on the road when he found himself temporarily unable to restart the car.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Julie waited anxiously for Nigel to return home after their argument. After getting advice from Jean, she decided to phone her husband.<\/p>\n

With both Jasmine and Gina left lying motionless, will they be okay?<\/p>\n
