Justin moans that his flat white is lukewarm but Emma has no time for his complaints. He’s been chatting and let it go cold, she says. If he wants a hot one he’ll have to buy another. Fallon intervenes and gives Justin a fresh coffee and complimentary croissant. Fallon asks Emma what’s going on – she’s been stressed out for days. Emma apologises but avoids telling the truth about George, saying ‘he’s just not right at the moment’ and ‘very nervous about going to court’. Fallon tells her to try not to worry and to reassure George: he did a wonderful thing. George rings and tells Emma Clive’s upset after bumping into Susan who he says was awful to him.

Later, Justin quizzes Fallon about her plans for opening a café at the charging station. She reveals her ideas for a meat and dairy free eaterie.

A shocked Susan is telling Tracy about being ambushed by Clive while shopping. Why couldn’t he have stayed out of Ambridge? The two discuss how they can keep Clive away from their dad. They wonder whether they could bribe Clive to go away. But where would that end? They ask Brad’s advice who reckons his Great Granddad has the right to see his son. George arrives to ask Brad what he’s doing tonight and if he fancies seeing a film. Brad is seeing Mia so he suggests going tomorrow. George keeps Clive’s role in his return a secret. But he and Brad agree that Great Granddad should have the choice to see his own son.
