She remembers that she followed Rob to his lover's house and realised that she was pregnant, and after giving Rob the slip, she visits Anna to have her confirm her suspicions. However, Anna confusedly denies that Rob would have pushed her down the stairs, as per her suspicions.
She then calls her children, Finn and Sash, and Sash's boyfriend Thomas, over to their home, where she announces that she is leaving Rob. Jo also remembers that her fall was the result of an angry argument with Rob, in which she slipped while trying to take down a framed photo to pack while leaving him. Although Rob manages to grab her hand, he then deliberately let's go of her, ultimately being the cause of her traumatic fall.
