Intrigued Tracy takes excited Chelsea to the Stables, where Alice is waiting to show them something. It’s a motorised horsebox: filthy, with stiff handles and a terrible odour. Chelsea deems it perfect for her new mobile hairdressing salon. Stunned, Tracy asks what’s wrong with a car, but Chelsea has a plan: cleaned and painted, with a styling chair and faux flowers across the ceiling, this would make her really stand out from the crowd. The only hitch is that it’s over Chelsea’s budget. She wonders if her mum could help her out with the shortfall. She’s saved a lot from working hard at the Tearoom and the Orangery, and from her hairdressing clients. Tracy flatly refuses – top marks for ambition, but even if she had the money, there’s no way she’d help fund something so ridiculous, especially as Chelsea can afford a decent second-hand car. George updates Emma on Amber’s mum’s distressing reaction to the pregnancy. Seeing the atmosphere Amber grew up in, it’s made George reflect on the Grundy family, and he realises how lucky he’s been. He asks Emma to think back to when he woke up in hospital as it’s hazy – was it George who first suggested Markie’s gang, or Emma or Amber? He’s becoming increasingly doubtful that the accused men are guilty. Later, when helping to babysit Martha at Little Grange, flustered George insists on leaving. He has remembered something important.
