Emma hasn’t slept and as Ed and Will return from a job Emma tells them what’s happened. Ed’s stunned to learn the truth about George and the accident, and he’s angry that Emma told Will but not him. Emma called the Police herself, and Will’s upset that he was away when it happened. George returns, on bail and yet to be charged, and doesn’t want anything to do with Emma - he said nothing about her to the police, but only for Keira’s sake. Susan’s desperate to know what’s happening. Neil realises that the police will soon speak to Alice and the truth will be all round the village. Emma visits Ed at work and he’s hurt by her comment about Will being George’s dad – Ed insists that George has always been a son to him. And Ed and Emma were always a team. Mia turns up at Will’s ready to go for pizza, but they have something to tell her. Mia’s stunned and insists that she can’t go away to University now. But George is adamant – he may be a failure but Mia mustn’t ruin what she’s worked for. Mia insists she’ll phone constantly and they won’t give up on him, so he’d better not give up on himself. Neil thinks George will see sense and forgive Emma when he realises it was for the best. But Emma lashes out at her parents, blaming Neil for always having George pegged as a monster. Ed brings Emma down to earth and she apologises. Emma is just so worried about George – he’s in deep and there’s nothing she can do.
