Alice catches up with Fallon, and Lilian makes a promise.
Lilian goes to see Brian and refuses to apologise for being concerned. Brian gets antsy with her, before confessing that he really misses Jenny at times like this. He apologises for over-reacting yesterday. Lilian mentions dementia, but Brian insists that鈥檚 not what鈥檚 going on. Up on Lakey Hill Lilian tries teasing out of Brian what the underlying issue is. She guesses it鈥檚 to do with George. Indirectly, Brian admits, before telling her that it was Ruairi who hit George with a bottle. Lilian struggles to take it in as Brian outlines what happened when George was attacked. Lilian now sees why Brian鈥檚 in such a state, but doesn鈥檛 understand why Brian can鈥檛 move into the farmhouse with Miranda. Brian explains it鈥檚 because Ruairi couldn鈥檛 face living there and is barely holding himself together. Brian feels Jenny would have agreed with what he鈥檚 doing to protect Ruairi. Lilian agrees to go along with it, before Brian makes her promise not to tell anyone that Ruairi hit George.
Noting her stress over Brian, Fallon asks Alice how things are going with Rex, suggesting they come over for supper on Wednesday. They move on to cricket teas and the fierce competition to design a logo for the new team, before Fallon asks how Chris is coping with Rex being her boyfriend. Alice asserts that her and Chris are in a good place, but still frets in case Chris has said anything to prompt Fallon鈥檚 concern. Alice then admits she鈥檚 worried about everything at the moment, but particularly her dad.
