The Archers

At Woodbine Cottage Fallon can scarcely believe it when Alice tells her about George. Alice has been crying herself to sleep for weeks, but not anymore. Fallon remembers George’s apparent modesty about being a hero, when in reality he was lying. Alice, though, still feels some responsibility for being drunk in her car and for Fallon ending up in the river. They wonder about the effect the full story will have on Brian and Harrison.

At No.1 The Green Harrison loses it with George, blaming him for killing his unborn child and making Harrison hateful towards Alice. He barely restrains himself from battering terrified George. Later, when Harrison returns to Woodbine Cottage, Alice is still there with Fallon. Harrison tells them he picked up on some rumours at work before going to check the truth with George. He confesses that he scared George in the process. Fallon, appalled at Harrison’s lack of judgement, makes excuses and walks out. Alice then apologises to embarrassed Harrison for all she’s put him and Fallon through, before they hug, finally friends again.

While walking the road behind Brookfield orchard Jazzer asks Brad to help shift furniture at Greenacres, where Alistair is planning to redecorate. Jazzer spots the largest sunflower he’s ever seen. He reckons it’s sure to be a prize winner at the Flower & Produce Show. Later, Jazzer tells Brad he’s hidden the flower from general view. He admits that technically it belongs to Brookfield, but he’s going to claim it under the law of ‘Finders-keepers’.
