As Robert tries to figure out the right time to do the deed, Aaron goes and tells everyone in The Woolpack that he and Robert are back together. This makes Robert really nervous, and both Kev and Aaron can sense something is wrong.

The truth is revealed in explosive fashion when Robert meets Kev at HOP. Kev gifts Robert an expensive watch and pulls him in for a kiss, right at the same moment where Aaron is walking past. He sees everything, and Robert is caught out.
