Later on, he discharged himself from hospital and went into witness protection alone as he had originally planned.
When Eileen had packed a suitcase and raced to the hospital to leave with him, she was distraught to learn that Jan had gone.
She headed back home and panicked that Rachel (Verity Henry), who had previously shot Jan, had returned to finish the job.
But Sean confessed that he had encouraged Jan to go without her because he feared for Eileens safety.
The cab office worker was heartbroken and lashed out at Sean, accusing him of being jealous that she had found happiness.
Sean insisted that he only did what he did out of love for her, but sadly Eileen was too upset and ordered him to leave.
Can they ever get their friendship back on track? And is it really the last weve seen of Jan?
