Brad struggles with his conscience, and Chris is determined to move forwards.

George is helping Ed with some tree surgery at Grange Farm, but accidentally hits Ed in the face with a branch. Later, when Brad comes over to Little Grange, Emma notices blood on a door handle. When Emma and Brad see the cut to Ed鈥檚 eyebrow they wince at how deep it is. George explains what happened, before Brad remarks on the same thing happening the other day. George insists last time was different and he never meant to hit Ed. George and Ed cover that both incidents were accidents, but Brad isn鈥檛 convinced. Emma patches Ed up, before he heads back with George to finish the job. Brad confronts Emma with his suspicions about all the 鈥渁ccidents鈥 happening to Ed 鈥 that鈥檚 three in a month. Is Ed getting sloppy - or is he letting George hit him? Brad thinks Ed might be protecting George by taking the blame off him, so he won鈥檛 get sent back to prison. Emma can鈥檛 believe Ed wouldn鈥檛 have told her if that was the case, but Brad鈥檚 worried George might do Ed some serious harm if it happens again.

Alice sympathises over things not working out with Carly, before suggesting her and Chris are doomed to being single. Chris disagrees, showing Alice a dating app he鈥檚 signed up to. He thinks Alice should do the same, but she isn鈥檛 keen.
