Amber wants to meet Brad to discuss the wedding and a party for George when he comes out of prison, but Chelsea is sceptical anyone would come. Brad pushes Chelsea to talk to Amber and make up with her. Later, when Amber turns up at Lower Loxley to meet Brad, he has to explain about Chelsea working in the Orangery. Chelsea is keen to work things out with Amber, but not while she’s at work, but hopes Brad can smooth things over in the meantime. However, Amber proves an awkward customer, changing her mind about the coffee she’s ordered after Chelsea’s already made it, then threatening to post a bad review. Chelsea seizes the moment, apologising to Amber for bullying her at school, but Amber rejects the apology, reducing Chelsea to tears in the process. Brad sees how upset Chelsea is and when she explains why, Brad heads off to confront Amber. Amber is stubbornly unrepentant, insisting Chelsea deserves her contempt after what happened between them at school. Angry Brad then tells Amber that she’s the bully now.
