At the Bull, Will apologises to Chris and tells him George is desperate to tell Alice how sorry he is, but he isn’t allowed to speak to her. Chris is furious when he realises Will, like Emma, knew about George’s crime.

Brian and Alice are in London for Ruairi’s graduation ceremony, but Brian’s flustered as they realise they had the wrong time and need to hurry. However, they make it in time and enjoy the ceremony, before Ruairi apologises for mixing up the times – he’s been to too many parties and job interviews recently. Brian’s delighted Ruairi has a place on a City graduate scheme and agrees to a group hug, against his natural instincts. He’s proud as punch of his son!

Over a pint, Chris and Harrison share their feelings. Chris cares about George but he’s so frustrated, while Harrison regrets his recent actions, plus, of course, his hatred for Alice. Harrison is shocked to learn that Ema and Will concealed the truth about George – when did they find out what he’d done?

Will goes to see Emma, saying George is less hostile now, but still hiding away. Will then mentions Chris being off with him and Emma admits Ed is avoiding her. She can’t face anyone in the village. Emma despairs that George won’t speak to her, just when he needs his Mum most. Will goes with her to speak to Fallon, but it’s Harrison who opens the door. They try saying how sorry they are, but Harrison informs them coldly, a police colleague will be speaking to them about their role in assisting an offender.
