Chris helps Alice with the court case. Emma drops in and Chris can see she looks wrung out. Emma tells Alice how sorry she is for how she has treated her and wants to help, offering to be a character witness. However, Emma’s nervous at the thought of being cross examined, but reiterates she’ll do it. Alice is so grateful, but Emma insists she owes Alice. Will and George wonder where Emma has disappeared to, and Fallon’s left feeling anxious at the Bull as everyone prepares to surprise Emma. Emma eventually turns up at home, non-plussed but grateful for her present from George. Will reminds Emma they’re off for a family meal at the Bull, and leaves George to escort Emma. Emma tells George she’s not going to the Bull, so George is forced to tell her about the surprise. But Emma can’t face anyone, knowing what she does about him. George points out that people will ask questions, so she has to go - and look like she’s enjoying herself. Emma uses her best acting skills as she arrives to cries of ‘surprise’ and ‘happy birthday’ and Ed launches into his John Travolta dance. Later - with a pint from Will in a new replacement hero glass from Jolene and Kenton - George finds Emma sat on the stairs away from everyone. She refuses to get back into party mood and snaps at George. Will can’t understand, after everything George has done for Emma – but that’s just it, says Emma, as she prepares to tell Will about the terrible thing George has actually done.
