As Chris waits at The Bull for Harrison to turn up, Lilian chats about the \u2018Name the Pub Cat\u2019 competition. Chris just hopes they end up with a better name than Prospero! When Will appears with Ed, he gets a frosty reception. Upset Will heads off and Ed tries to explain that Will and Emma did try to make George confess. Ed thinks that as George\u2019s uncle, Chris should be more understanding. But Chris retorts that after everything he did to Alice and Martha, George is no nephew of his.

George nervously awaits Alice\u2019s arrival at No.1 The Green, explaining to Will and Ed that he has to face this alone \u2013 he\u2019s not a kid anymore. When Alice arrives she explains she\u2019s not there to have a go at George, she\u2019s there to read out her impact statement to him face to face. The prosecutor will read it out in court. George fights back tears as Alice outlines how George\u2019s actions have impacted on her personal life, work and especially her daughter Martha. Because of George, Alice felt like she was on a course of self-destruction. When she finishes, shell-shocked George sobs saying how sorry he is. Alice is gentle but firm telling him she understands what he\u2019s going through \u2013 she\u2019s far from perfect. But she advises him to take responsibility for what he did, and if he ends up in prison, to use that time to grab every opportunity he can to put his life back together. He mustn\u2019t let this ruin him. George promises it won\u2019t \u2013 he\u2019ll come out of this a better person.
