Harrison doesn’t know where to turn, and Neil attempts to keep the peace.

Chris is already back in his flat and Neil wonders why Susan isn’t angry with her Dad. As Susan continues looking after Bert, Neil apologises and Susan explains that it’s the least she can do. Susan also notes how awful Bert’s own father was, explaining some of Bert’s behaviour and attitudes. Susan knew Bert loved his children because he wasn’t like his dad. Neil suggests that Susan explains this to Chris.

Harrison reminds Fallon that Woodbine Cottage is still her home. Now she’s back from Lynda and Robert’s, Harrison is keen to let Fallon settle, and has moved some things to the spare room.

Alan discusses fete woes with Jolene, who stops Harrison to hug him and remind him he’s still part of the family and no one is taking sides. Alan walks with Harrison and also lends an ear. Harrison feels he should have tried harder to save his relationship, but Alan urges him to stop blaming himself – he and Fallon now just need to be kind to each other.

Fallon is standoffish with Jolene, who’s still sceptical about the new Lower Loxley job and tries to persuade Fallon to stay at the Bull. But Fallon points out that her break-up hasn’t happened suddenly, and now she’s finally ready to take control.

Fallon’s touched when Harrison supports her decision about working at Lower Loxley. Harrison is going to look for somewhere to rent, but Fallon says there’s no need just yet. Having agreed that they’ll make things work, they wish each other good night.
