Series 2, Episode 6 - Gas And Air
Further details

Sarah's got more than her new baby to celebrate - she's got her PhD, is now a Doctor and is offered an incredible job abroad, but turns it down because of the family.
Joe's rehabilitation is in full swing and all he has to do is take the car for a drive and then if he can walk to the pub he can have a pint.
Vicki wonders if Lindsay is such a perfect man after all and with a broken Gervaise launching his album at Swayze's, she's torn. Jack realises that Sarah's opportunity is too good to turn down and with a bit of help from Denise, they decide to move away.
Pauline's in denial and throws herself into the baking business, but eventually realises that Jack, Sarah and her grandson are leaving Hebburn.
