While Xander and Maddie play outside at Honeysuckle Cottage, Ian and Lottie set up Ian\u2019s first online PTA meeting. Ian\u2019s set a clear agenda, but Lottie doubts it\u2019ll be as straightforward as he thinks. Later, she\u2019s amused by Ian\u2019s exasperation at how chaotic the meeting was. Ian\u2019s determined to stick with it though, and determined to prove his mettle at the disco on Wednesday. Lottie heads off to Apple Day, but Ian won\u2019t join her out of loyalty to Adam, who\u2019s still firmly anti-Grundy.

Alice sees Chris at The Forge and tells him she\u2019s taking Martha to Apple Day. Chris says Alice has an unhealthy obsession with the Grundys, but Alice argues she\u2019s making an effort to move on. Chris is scathing about Alice\u2019s attempt to make up with Emma. Nevertheless, Alice tries to persuade him to go with them.

Later, while Emma\u2019s writing a letter to George, Clarrie tells her how a lot more people than they expected have turned up for Apple Day. When Emma goes outside, she finds Chris there with Alice. Initial awkwardness between the siblings eases when Emma and Chris have a laugh at the apple peel predictions. Meanwhile, when Alice helps Clarrie make apple sauce, Clarrie\u2019s full of praise for how supportive Alice has been today. Alice sees it as part of her recovery process, including with Martha. Clarrie\u2019s just happy to see that Chris and Emma have at least broken the ice. She thinks the whole family have realised they need to stick together. All they want is for the nightmare to be over.
