Brian, Adam and Kate are at the police station \u2013 they want to get Alice through this with the least possible trauma. She was arrested as soon as the doctor said she was well enough. Brian is kicking himself about his harsh words to Alice. But Kate thinks people have every right to be furious with her. For now Alice is free to go, while her blood alcohol is being tested.

During the drive home she wants to go to the hospital to find out how the others are. Kate is derisive \u2013 if the shoe were on the other foot, they wouldn\u2019t want \u2018the offender\u2019 visiting. Alice struggles to remember what happened \u2013 she recalls George but little else. When they get home Alice tells Brian it\u2019s not the first time she has parked up and got drunk but she\u2019s never driven drunk before. After putting her to bed, Brian tells Kate and Adam they have to do something \u2013 he doesn\u2019t know how Alice will get out of this mess.

Fallon is impatient to leave the hospital with Harrison. Mick arrives, unscathed apart from a sprained wrist although Joy has a broken collar bone. They\u2019ve all had a lucky escape - they all agree George is one brave kid. The doctor arrives and gives Fallon the all clear to leave, but first wants a word with Fallon and Harrison in private. He tells them one of the hospital\u2019s routine tests has come back positive \u2013 Fallon is pregnant. She\u2019s shocked - she has a coil and they\u2019ve been careful. She must return for an ultrasound tomorrow.
