Alistair fails to make sense of recent events, while Chris tries to do the right thing.

Harrison's using an exercise bike to increase his step count and teases Fallon about cheating. They discuss Alice's meltdown at the funeral. Fallon worries that Alice has gone too far this time. At nets, Harrison's got the team doing a five-mile run - it's all with the intention of upping his step count for Sport Relief. Later, Harrison's shocked to discover that Fallon's beating him.

Alice is mortified by her behaviour and Chris tells her she has to face the Grundys alone to apologise. Clarrie all but slams the door in her face. Chris suggests to Alice that she cut back on the drinking.

Brian is sympathetic when Alice explains what happened - we all make mistakes. He also tells Alice that if she wanted it, there might be a job at Home Farm for her in the future.

Shula and Alistair struggle to navigate living under the same roof whilst being separated. Alistair's desperate to avoid the silence so they make small talk about Jim and his piano playing - Jim's going to convert the spare room into a music room. Alistair can't engage Shula in joining him for dinner or an evening chat. He gets annoyed - why won't Shula try to save the marriage at all? But Shula tells him she has been trying for years that it's over.
