Irene recently confided in friend John about the mystery memory lapses she has been experiencing.
With social worker Harper Matheson (Jessica Redmayne) having returned to her job, Irene agrees to look after baby Archie at home.
However, disaster almost strikes when Irene leaves the house, forgetting that she is supposed to be babysitting!
Irene is horrified and distressed when she realises the mistake she almost made.
