Summary

Alice is still feeling shaky about her mum’s addition to her will. Brian suggests she doesn’t dwell on it. It was her mother’s wishes to leave money to Martha, and Alice should stop upsetting herself going over it all and move on. Alice confesses her anxiety to Chris, who suggests a solution might be to share the money out. Alice points out the money’s earmarked for Martha, and besides, her issue is with the reason for the gift, not the money itself. Her mum didn’t trust her, and wants everyone to keep an eye on her. Chris is sure Jennifer never thought that. He goes to see Brian, and they chat about lone living for a while before Chris moves on to the subject of Alice. Brian doesn’t see what more they can do, but Chris thinks the family should work together to find a solution. Brian agrees they can all help her pull through. Oliver shares with Tracy his thoughts on the damage to Caroline’s memorial bench and tree. Whilst acknowledging it wasn’t deliberate, it really looks to him as if Brad and George were out to trample over her memory. Tracy stresses that Brad isn’t that kind of lad. Oliver thought he knew that, but at the moment he wouldn’t feel able even to accept an apology. Tracy discovers the police aren’t taking the matter further. When she asks Oliver if he intends to press charges, he says he’ll make his decision today. Later he calls round with the news that he’s decided against doing so.
