Will fusses around George who refuses to leave the house for any reason. Charged with perverting the course of justice and dangerous driving, George hopes the judge will go easy as he\u2019s pleading guilty to everything. Brian charges round and bangs on the door, demanding that George come out and face him. Terrified George hides inside until Will tells him Brian has gone.
Outside the village shop Neil and Tony attempt to calm furious Brian, who\u2019s anger brings on an angina attack. Tony stays with Brian, having informed Neil that George is sacked and banned from Bridge Farm. Later as they look at the Anguses, Tony implores Brian not to let what\u2019s happened make him ill \u2013 remembering how his own fury at Rob Titchener affected him.
Neil tells Will what happened with Brian and that George has lost his job. Angry, Neil questions whether George would ever have turned himself in, pointing out how damaging his actions were for Alice. George becomes defensive and upset, revealing how much guilt has weighed on him. He wishes Harrison had finished what he came round to do on Monday. Neil and Will are shocked to learn Harrison attacked him.
Neil sits talking to George, and dissuades him from telling the police about what Harrison did. George regrets how he\u2019s blown everything and starts to cry. Neil comforts George and assures him he will rebuild things, step by step, like Freddie has. His Grandad assures him he\u2019s strong enough and that he will always love him very much.
