A slightly awkward Harrison and Lily have arrived too early for nets practice in Felpersham, but they decide to small talk in the café. Lily eventually addresses the elephant in the room – Tango Night. They agree they both enjoyed themselves but it’s not a good idea to continue. Lily sees Fallon all the time, besides Lily’s promised herself no messy relationships for her own self esteem. Although Harrison reassures her that he and Fallon are truly over and he’s moved out, he doesn’t want to rush into a relationship either. So they’ll leave it there. Lily decides to join Paul at the cinema. She’ll see Harrison around. At Meadow Farm, George wants Esme to hear him out. He wasn’t trying to rip her off. He panicked as he knew he and Amber would need the extra money ahead of her maternity leave. Esme angrily asks him not to spin the truth. Esme is working another job to pay for George’s sick pay, and Eddie’s cover, can George not grasp how wrong all this is? He disagrees – financially he’s barely keeping his head above water. Esme won’t sack him, but with some conditions. George will receive no further sick pay, and when he returns it will be basic milking hours, he’ll start from the bottom. The farm isn’t doing well and George should be grateful she’s supporting him. George responds that he doesn’t need her charity, and she can stick her job. He’ll take the permanent car sales job and won’t come to a job which feels like a favour.
