Lying in bed with Amber, George complains that she鈥檚 always on her phone. Amber defends herself, that鈥檚 how influencing works, but suggests taking George for a drink in Felpersham. George doesn鈥檛 want her driving him everywhere though, paying for everything. He thinks they should move away from Ambridge and start afresh. Amber isn鈥檛 keen, pointing out that living rent-free with George鈥檚 dad is a big reason to stay, comparing Will favourably to her own father. George is luckier than he thinks he is. But when George sees Tracy later he reckons being barred from The Bull is cruel and unnecessary. Tracy corrects him: what he did to Alice was cruel and unnecessary.

At the Stables Alice is distracted, still thinking about the conversation yesterday with Ruairi and Adam. Lilian鈥檚 surprised to hear she鈥檚 interested in managing Home Farm. She鈥檇 expected Alice to take over at the Stables one day. However, Alice is more concerned about Brian鈥檚 promises which don鈥檛 mean anything. Oliver turns up for a ride, explaining his reason for the last-minute trip to see his daughter. He was inspired by Tracy鈥檚 suggestion to celebrate his birthday. Estranged from his two other children Oliver envies how close Brian is to his offspring, especially Alice. Alice suggests wryly that after all the mistakes Brian鈥檚 made he鈥檚 lucky his children still talk to him.

Later, at The Bull, Lilian suggests to Alice that Brian鈥檚 duplicity should come as no surprise and Alice has to agree. Lilian continues that Brian will always do what serves him best.
