Summary

Alice wonders when George will be filming her publicity video, but Lilian says it’s already been done. Lilian admits they had to make a difficult decision, but she’s really proud of Alice getting straight and coming back to work. Alice reveals she’s actually feeling quite positive and talk turns to the upcoming court case. Lilian admires Alice’s resilience. Later, Justin’s appreciative of Alice’s swift intervention over Amir’s colic, but tells her that Carlotta’s covering ‘Cantering On’ in Alice’s place. When Alice points out that the event was her idea Justin’s defensive, saying that Carlotta needs to be seen as a potential long-term manager, at least until they know the result of Alice’s court case. Although Alice is understanding, she makes it clear that she’ll be at ‘Cantering On’, and later Lilian supports Alice’s decision. Alice mentions she’s made a hypnotherapy appointment to help her remember the night of the accident. She knows she appears guilty, but feels that she wouldn’t have driven the car drunk. Lily and Ben discuss drunken Paul bringing home a strange man. They agree that Paul’s not his usual self after all his troubles with Etienne, plus having to work with Alistair and Denise every day. But Paul isn’t in the mood to have a lecture on morality. However, later Paul apologises and buys Lily and Ben dinner at The Bull. He’s going to make an effort to get on with Alistair at work. He remembers Lily’s wisdom after the Rage Room: there’s no point staying angry for ever because it sours everything else you do.
