Summary
Henry’s a reluctant assistant at Bridge Farm as Helen and Tony work on plans to rejuvenate the garden areas. Henry continues to campaign for giving George work. Whilst Helen agrees no-one deserves to be assaulted, she reiterates there’s too much bad feeling for them to consider rehiring George. Henry goes to see Keira. When his mum calls him later, she discovers he’s at the hospital visiting George. Helen’s not happy. She asks if Henry is mates with George. Henry supposes he is. He feels sorry for George – the family are going through a hard time. Tony acknowledges this is true. Helen assures Henry she won’t cause any drama over the visit. She admits to Tony that at fifteen, she trusts Henry to make the right decisions. Tony declares her a good parent – Helen reckons she had a good role model.
Amber worries that Will’s spending too much time at the hospital. She also checks in on Ed, who confirms he’s fine – it’s just a lot. Later, Ed spots Will’s anxiety and guesses the cause – it’s not his fault he wasn’t there when Nic died. Will says he couldn’t bear it if the same happened with George. Ed and Amber try to reassure him. Will tells Ed that Nic and what they had was his lot in life; there’s no point trying for more. Ed thinks this is a waste. Will could try something different or start dating again. He asserts Will deserves to be happy. Will reckons the only thing that will make him happy is tomorrow, when their boy comes home.

| 0:05.7 | Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, and I'm Ed Gamble, host of another BBC podcast, The Traitors Uncloaked. |
| 0:12.7 | But my show is available only on BBC Sounds, just like Ellis and John's Saturday bonus episodes, |
| 0:18.2 | The Pop Top Ten podcast with Scott Mills and Rylan, and comedy specials |
| 0:22.2 | from the likes of Harriet Kemsley, Susie Ruffle and Rommashranganathan. |
| 0:26.0 | However, and maybe I'm biased, it's really all about the traitors uncoaked. |
| 0:30.3 | So for a whole bunch of exclusive scoops and podcasts, listen only on BBC Sounds. |
| 0:35.0 | You're listening to Tuesday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4. |
| 1:01.3 | Okay. Of course it's freezing, Henry. It's January. Where's your coats? |
| 1:02.1 | In my bag? |
| 1:03.9 | It's no good in there, is it? |
| 1:06.4 | The 15-year-olds not wear coats anymore. |
| 1:08.6 | So how's your first day back at school? |
| 1:09.6 | All right. |
| 1:11.6 | Or speak? Oh, ha-ha, granddad. Do you want me to help put away the tools or not? And I've done my homework, Mum, before you ask. When? On the bus. How can you write neatly on a bus? It's online, Mum. It's a thing now. Like when you were in school in the 1800s. Ugh. Oye. You walked into that one, I'm afraid, love. Right, instead of making sarcastic comments, |
| 2:00.8 | why don't you go and give the shopper suite? What are you doing? Ah, we are revolutionising the edible forest garden, expanding it for the new year. Oh, great. Put your coat on. Yeah, might actually. So we've totally neglected the garden since the sewage leak and Paul over in Serran's area was obviously ruined. And the seeds we planted afterwards never took. And there's our own front garden, of course. So we're going to plant Granny a quince tree for her birthday. It will be the jewel in the crown of Bridge Farm's new garden extravaganza. |
| 2:01.6 | Sounds good. |
| 2:19.2 | Only problem is, of course. No, staff. Look, obviously not while George's in the hospital. I don't know, we've been through all this more than once, darling. We're not hiring George. But, mum? No, no, I'm sorry, Henry. There's too much bad feeling. But look, what happened to him? Yes, but some may argue that he brought that on himself. |
| 2:19.9 | That's not fair. |
| 2:21.0 | That's not what I think. |
| 2:50.9 | No one deserves to be assaulted. No, of course not. I was just saying... And while I don't want him working here, I really do hope that everything's okay. I mean, clearly, all the Grundy's needs some support. And the Carter's. Right, Henry, I'll grab that brush for you. I might have time now. What do you mean? Going to care us. Since when? Since you remind of it that the family needs a port. Ed, you don't have any moisturiser, do you? Um, no. I'm sure I put some in here with his deodorant. Oh, it's for George. |
| 2:52.1 | His skin is so dry. |
