Neil checks in on George because Emma mentioned he seemed a bit down and wasn\u2019t keen on being the vice-captain of the cricket team. George admits Harrison\u2019s made things awkward with Tracy and he was behaving weirdly at the cricket match on Sunday, particularly when he was rude to Pat. Neil tells George he\u2019s really proud of him for his part in the crash rescue and offers to be there for his Borchester Echo interview. But George says it\u2019s fine - he\u2019s cancelled the interview as he wasn\u2019t in the mood.
Lily waits with Kirsty for George to help inject one of Rex's boars with anti-inflammatories. Lily mentions that Mick hasn\u2019t got hold of Rochelle yet for Joy\u2019s surprise birthday party. Kirsty\u2019s confused when Lily talks about Rochelle\u2019s local address \u2013 Kirsty\u2019s sure she lives up north. With George\u2019s help, Kirsty successfully injects the boar. George offers to help any time but cringes when Kirsty tells him he\u2019s already a hero around Ambridge and now he\u2019s saving Rex and Kirsty.
Neil bumps into Harrison at St Stephens. Harrison promises to sort it when Neil explains that George doesn\u2019t want to be vice-captain. Neil adds that he heard that Harrison was disrespectful to Pat on Sunday and checks if he\u2019s alright. Harrison shares his feelings about Fallon\u2019s miscarriage and Alice\u2019s part in it. Neil thinks Alice's behaviour isn\u2019t deliberate; she self-sabotages and with alcoholics a relapse is sadly all too common. Neil\u2019s faith and forgiving Alice has bought him enormous relief. Harrison\u2019s understanding but it\u2019s all a bit much at the moment. Neil says he\u2019s there if Harrison needs him.
