Summary
Azra and Akram debate the pros and cons of accepting Helen’s offer of work for Akram at Bridge Farm. Azra feels it’s a bit of a step down to reject lucrative plumbing work in favour of working with veg. Akram points out they have more than enough to live on with Azra’s salary, but assumes this is a no from her. Azra concedes that it’s Akram’s call. Later he explains Helen that his current work gives him more time for the children; if there was just himself to consider he’d definitely say yes. However they’re interrupted by Azra, who hopes she’s in time to make her husband happy: he should take the work. Having Akram contented amongst the plants rather than having his head under a sink means more than being able to accrue savings. Akram’s delighted; how can he say no? His wife never ceases to surprise him.
Kenton observes to Alice that the whole village seems on edge since what happened to George. Alice thinks it must be awful for George knowing someone wants him dead. Later George calls at the Nest with a gift for Martha. He wants to apologise to Brian and Adam now that he and Chris have made peace. Alice advocates focusing on rest and recovery, but George is adamant he wants to try and make amends to prove he’s not fake. Alice gets it. George also apologises to Kenton, who accepts it, but without much faith in George’s contrition. George pleads with him to persuade Jolene to forgive and forget.
