Harrison comes to a realisation, and it鈥檚 a big day for Ben.

Chelsea and Ben prepare for their D-Day performance, dressed in authentic costume. Ben carefully asks Chelsea if she鈥檚 ok about doing this play with him, and she agrees. Ben also fills Chelsea in on Freddie and Vince鈥檚 discovery last night.
Chelsea does Fallon鈥檚 hair and Fallon鈥檚 amazed at how much she looks like her Great Aunt in her photo. Chelsea jokes about how much Harrison will fancy Fallon in her vintage look, and admits that she鈥檇 like to fall in love, before sharing that it鈥檚 weird that everyone knows about what happened between her and Ben 鈥� but doing this play has actually been good for them both.
Joy tells Emma about Mick鈥檚 work at Grey Gables, and the issue of his motorhome, and Emma complains about snobbery. They share a joke with Harrison, before Lynda introduces her short play performance - a promenade piece. Ben performs as a young soldier, writing a letter home to his beloved before their wedding, in which he dreams about their life together after the war. Then there鈥檚 a playful hair-washing scene between Pearl (Chelsea) and Connie (Fallon), which takes a sad turn.
An emotional Emma and Joy congratulate Chelsea and discuss the story 鈥� the soldier was killed the day before starting leave to get married, and it was all a true story. Chelsea finds Ben to say well done. Meanwhile, Fallon marvels at how Lynda wrote the play in a day and tells Harrison that she can鈥檛 imagine what she鈥檇 do if he died. Harrison comforts Fallon and jokingly reassures her he鈥檚 not going anywhere.
