Rea would love to have an adventure, but her inbuilt sense of love, loyalty (and guilt!) means that she cannot betray Ben. ben knows something is not right, but he's unsure what it is - check out the scene where each of them leave home in their respective cars, and turn opposite ways at the end of the road, and then each feel uncomfortable with the song on their car radios, and turn it off. The song is 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' - no words, just perfect imagery, TV rarely gets better than this.
But no, throughout the whole of the series, Rea never gives in, surely this bitter-sweet story should be repeated an terrestrial TV, and soon.
