Emma offers to buy George tea, but on the way, Emma mentions yesterday’s photos, where George looked serious in every one. She wonders if something’s worrying him and if so, he needs to know she’s there for him. But George flies off the handle when he hears Chelsea’s worried about him too and asks to be taken home, where he heads straight up to his room.

Later Emma goes up to see him where distraught George talks her through the Am rescue. But when he mentions Fallon on the riverbank, thanking him for saving her life, he points out that Fallon didn’t realise that he’d caused the accident. When he heard the sirens he knew he had to get to Alice in the car, before the police did. He then pulled out-of-it Alice into the driver’s seat. When a shocked Emma struggles to take in what this means, tearful George admits that he’d been driving the car. George explains that he’d been trying to help Alice get home, but when she tried to open the car door as he was driving, he lost concentration and that’s when the accident happened. Emma wonders how she’s going to face everyone, but one thing she’s sure of is that George is going to have to be brave and tell the truth and go to the police. But George knows he’d be done for obstructing the course of justice and will go to prison. He begs Emma not to tell anyone, not even Will.
