Justin is up early, telling Lilian he\\u2019s off to back-to-back meetings but then turns up at Alice\\u2019s door. He tells her they\\u2019ve found someone to fill in for her at the Stables in her absence. He says she must be aware that a return to work might not be possible if she\\u2019s jailed. He wonders whether it might be better for her to consider resigning, as they have a new manager \\u2013 Carlotta \\u2013 and all he wants is for the Stables to get back on track. But Alice says she\\u2019s not going to resign. She\\u2019s ashamed and embarrassed but she needs to hold on to things that can bring her back to normal life. He states she has used up her annual leave for the year and she\\u2019ll be on statutory sick pay from now on. Later at the Stables he tells Lilian he has spoken to Alice. She is furious and wanted to visit Alice as well. But Justin says there\\u2019s very little anyone can do for her at the moment.
