While George helps Eddie prepare the sheep for tupping he talks about not being around for lambing. Eddie reckons he’s going to find George a new lawyer who can help minimise George’s sentence, but George says no to selling Eddie’s van - and the idea of using the money they got from selling Bartleby. When he calls Eddie a stupid old fool, Ed demands George apologise, but George walks off. Later, Ed catches George and tells him to accept help when it’s offered, as with the character reference Oliver wrote. But who else can they try?
Eddie goes to see Pat and updates her on Clarrie, who’s away looking after her sister Rosie. Eddie asks about Helen’s lawyer when she was on trial. Pat gives him Dominic’s name, but at the thought of what might happen to George Eddie becomes emotional and Pat tells him to have faith in the system. George then apologises to Eddie and says he’s not giving up, but needs to face up to what he’s done and accept that he’s going to prison.
Tony tells Pat that Eddie has a cheek asking them for help, then fulminates about the pressure they’re all under after having to fire George and with Emma staying away from the Tearoom. When Ed shows up to ask a favour Tony flatly refuses to write George a character reference. After Ed goes Tony gives him short shrift, but Pat defends Ed – and Eddie – questioning what good a long prison sentence will do George. But Tony is adamant, they are not writing George a reference.
