Emma makes her mind up and Brookfield faces a challenge.
Tony finds fed up Ruth doing the milking for Pip, who鈥檚 had a heavy night celebrating her team鈥檚 bid win. Ruth鈥檚 mood isn鈥檛 helped by the discovery that Brookfield came a close second. She and Tony agree the closure of Crowthers will be a real challenge. David鈥檚 conversation with the Hassett Hills office hasn鈥檛 yielded much success.
Ed wants to talk to Emma about Will. Emma鈥檚 prickly; she鈥檚 still shaken after Friday, and the revelation about Nic鈥檚 hit and run. Ed tries to bring her back to the here and now, urging her not to tell anyone about Will鈥檚 meltdown. Emma can鈥檛 promise. He might do it again, and she can鈥檛 put the children at risk. She doesn鈥檛 see why Ed鈥檚 being so easy on Will. She reminds him that Will tried to kiss her. Ed concedes that whilst he didn鈥檛 like it, that鈥檚 no reason to keep going at Will. Emma鈥檚 unforgiving. Will鈥檚 a menace. But Ed feels a big part of the reason for Will鈥檚 state of mind is down to their history, and what he and Emma did to him by getting together. They need to face it, and try to understand. After a long moment, Emma agrees not to tell anyone. Detecting her soften, Ed tries to build bridges between them. But Emma鈥檚 adamant this changes nothing 鈥� she doesn鈥檛 want anything to do with Ed or his family ever again.
