Susan fears the worst, and Chris has the rug pulled from under him.
A dazed Alice tells Chris her solicitor鈥檚 called to say all the charges against her have been dropped. After enduring the worst few months of her life Alice is off the hook. Delighted Chris hugs Alice, perhaps longer than he should, before she checks her email for confirmation that it really is true. They head to Ambridge View to collect Martha for a trip to the water park, only for downbeat Neil and Susan to explain that George was arrested last week and charged with causing the crash.
Later, at the Rewilding Site, Chris confronts Emma about George. Emma admits she knew some time ago about George being the driver and apologises, but Chris tells her bluntly, 鈥渟orry鈥 won鈥檛 cut it. Her son has nearly destroyed Alice鈥檚 life. And his, and Martha鈥檚. The more Emma tries to explain what happened the more appalled Chris is by Emma鈥檚 hypocrisy and lies. He accuses her of only ever wanting to protect George. When Neil arrives his attempt at peace-making fails to dampen his son鈥檚 fury. Chris storms off, saying he never wants to see Emma again.
Meanwhile, Alice thanks Susan for pushing her towards Rehab. But Susan is mortified about what very nearly happened to Alice and the effect it has had on Martha. Susan is ashamed that her own grandson could have done something so dreadful. In response Alice shows unexpected compassion and gratitude towards Susan before Neil returns and Alice goes, leaving Neil and Susan in despair at how they will ever repair the rift between their son and daughter.
