George has forgotten he’s taking Brad for a drink tonight to celebrate Brad’s 18th birthday, until Chelsea reminds him while cutting his hair. Chelsea then sets George up for a date with Tilly Button. Later on, though, at The Bull, Chelsea wonders why George has turned Tilly down. He can’t explain why, just that he has a problem. Chelsea assumes it’s an embarrassing one, and he frustratedly heads off – just as Jazzer approaches, leaving Chelsea to cover for his absence. The mood is tense as Brian and Alice drive back from the solicitor’s, with Alice still not having agreed to change her plea. Then, when Brian bumps into Jazzer at a petrol station, Jazzer makes his feelings clear about Alice. Fallon could have died - and her baby did. Brian retorts that Jazzer’s own past is hardly spotless when it comes to reckless behaviour. But what Alice did affected people Jazzer cares about and now she’s dragging them all into court to re-live that night. That’s the truth, Jazzer insists. Later, Brian tells Chris about the encounter. He thinks they need to protect Alice from hearing such opinions. Alice then reveals she heard every word. Brian still wants her to change her mind about her plea, but Alice says she can’t and Chris surprises Brian by backing Alice. Brian leaves in high dudgeon before Chris admits he thinks Brian’s right. But Alice’s fragmented memories are telling her something different. She appreciates Chris’s support, but needs him to focus on Martha, while Alice sorts out her own mess.
