Alice gets the wrong end of the stick and Susan is taught a lesson

Susan calls Tracy regarding a negative comment she’s had about her radio show. Tracy’s busy tidying up after her kids and waiting on her dad. She asks Susan if Bert can stay with her for a couple of weeks. When Susan says no Tracy plays a practical joke on her, and suggests she, Chelsea and Brad move in with Susan instead.
Despite her initial resistance, Alice has agreed to job share with Adam at Home Farm. She enjoys having the office to herself. She can’t believe Adam’s not planning anything for Ian’s 50th birthday. She thinks about organising a party for Ian herself.
Ed thinks it’s odd that Alice is acting like their interaction last week never happened. Then he ponders how you never really know what’s going on with other people – like with Will last year. He considers how for a moment he wished Will had killed himself, though he would never admit that to anyone else. Ed tries to subtly tell Alice that she can talk to him at any time but Alice misinterprets Ed’s offer of support as romantic interest.
