Confused Lynda then explains that she’s investigating the fruit pies incident, but now Jazzer has thrown her whole investigation into disarray!

Susan is apologetic, but just wants to focus on work to distract her from thinking about George and how everything has gone so badly wrong. Tom goes to see Emma and talks about Fallon. Emma says she can’t face Fallon, plus there’s the stress of worrying about George and what will happen to the kids if she gets sent to prison. Tom understands her concern, then encourages her to meet up with him and Fallon – he has an idea. If Fallon’s willing to meet, says Emma, then so is she.

  • Angry at George, Kenton throws his hero glass in the bin. They worry about Fallon, who’s stepped back from the Flower and Produce show this year and is still worried about Harrison. Fallon’s mentioned entries for the show are down this year, so between them they come up with the idea of entering an Apple Pie with a twist, using apples from Brookfield and cheese from Bridge Farm. And if they both enter it’ll double their chances of winning. But in the meantime, they really need to come up with a name for their new pub kitten.

    Emma and Will discuss their harrowing police interviews, before Ed arrives, having walked Keira to The Stables. He’ll pick her up too, as he doesn’t want anyone approaching her about George.

The girls need to understand there’s a chance of Emma and Will going to prison.

    Later it transpires Keira knew all about it already, after Will told Clarrie outside Keira’s window. Emma remembers how scared she was when Susan went to prison and now she’s doing it to her own daughter. Ed reassures her that the family will be there to support Keira. Upset Emma points out Chris still won’t have anything to do with her. Will reports that Poppy didn’t take the news well. But she’s not angry with George, unlike Keira, so they’ve agreed not to talk about him. Will’s biggest fear though is losing Poppy if he goes to prison.

  • 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.

    Later, Robert hears Jazzer rustling in the bushes on Brookfield land, just before David shows up. When Robert spots the sunflower, Jazzer distracts David and tries to dissuade Robert from letting on that David has a prize specimen on his hands. Nevertheless, Jazzer realises he’ll need to hide the sunflower somewhere else. Robert wins the prize for collecting most bags of rubbish and immediately donates it as a raffle prize. Jazzer points out Robert has cheated, albeit unwittingly, by collecting one of his bags before the pick started. Jazzer says he’ll keep quiet, but only if Robert agrees not to say anything about the sunflower, so Jazzer can take the prize at the Flower and Produce Show.

    Alice is pleased Brian has the all-clear from Dr Malik, and admits to feeling positive. Brian, however, is upset by a visit from Jean Harvey, who told Brian that Jennifer would be ashamed of him after yesterday’s outburst. Alice reminds Brian of his similar words to her. Contrite, Brian insists Jennifer would be proud of Alice. He offers to miss Ruairi’s graduation tomorrow to be here, but Alice says no and arranges to go to the ceremony with Brian.
