Joy offers some encouragement, and Ed is struggling with reality.

As Fallon鈥檚 trying to change her car鈥檚 flat tyre just outside Ambridge, Ed pulls up and offers to help. When Fallon asks how Emma is, Ed says she was in bits after Mick鈥檚 comments in the pub yesterday. They chat about how George is getting on in prison, and Ed admits they鈥檙e really worried about him. George is refusing to see them and has made friends with some really hard cases. Fallon reckons George is probably just doing what he can to get by. But Ed wonders who George is going to be by the time he leaves prison. Fallon鈥檚 really glad her friendship with Ed and Emma鈥檚 getting back on track, telling Ed she鈥檚 around if he ever needs a chat and they hug.

Joy visits Emma to let her know that she doesn鈥檛 support Mick鈥檚 complaint against her. She thinks Mick鈥檚 upset and angry about the crash and he鈥檚 taking it out on Emma. Joy understands how difficult things have been for Emma, but George saved Joy鈥檚 life, when he could have run off and left everyone to drown. And that Emma鈥檚 a good mum, despite everything that鈥檚 happened. Joy has a complicated relationship with her daughter Rochelle and explains it鈥檚 easy to feel you鈥檝e failed your child because of things that were out of your control. But Emma did her best in difficult circumstances and it would be a big loss to the community if Emma resigned from the Parish Council. Emma needs to get back on her feet to stand her ground. And when she does, Joy will be cheering her on.
