Emma and Ed are about to go The Bull for New Year鈥檚 Eve when they realise Keira鈥檚 not there. They find a note saying she can鈥檛 stay there any longer and wishing George was back in prison. Fearing the worst, Ed blames George for tearing the family apart.
Lilian and Tracy have been distributing free bottles of wine they were given after winning the Best Local Pub award, before George bursts in through the door, drunkenly demanding to be served and then mocking Kenton鈥檚 fear of dogs. Alice tries to reason with George before Brian takes hold of him and George sends Brian stumbling backwards. Tracy takes George aside, threatening to get the likes of Harrison to throw him out. George then beats a retreat, sarcastically wishing them all a Happy New Year. Lilian is full of praise for Tracy, while Alice reflects knowingly on George鈥檚 drunken state, before they hear the news that Keira is missing.
Alice goes outside and stops George from throwing a rock through the window, reminding him he promised to be a better person. He tells her the terrible things he鈥檚 said and done to his family and Alice responds in kind. But despite all that her family have forgiven her. His family will too, but he has to earn their forgiveness. George is stunned that Alice is being so helpful, agreeing to go and talk to his mum. But as George walks home, shouting defiantly that he鈥檒l prove everyone wrong, he鈥檚 smashed over the head with a bottle and falls to the ground.
