Summary

Mabel and Evie are at Bridge Farm with Henry and Jack. Helen’s worried when Tony comments how much Lee seems to be enjoying himself with them. The girls have told her they’re excited about moving to California but won’t say it in front of Lee. The more they’re enjoying themselves, the more Lee’s imagining a life with them here. When he finds out about how they feel about moving to America, Lee will come crashing down. Susan offers to help with Jennifer’s funeral, but Alice tearfully admits she doesn’t know if there’ll be one. Brian’s announced there won’t be a funeral and she feels like everything’s a horrible mess. Alice feels like she has to keep it all together, but she’s not coping. Susan’s shocked when Alice says she sometimes wishes she could hide under the table with a bottle of vodka and wait for it to be over. Alice has even failed at repairing Jennifer’s recipe book. Susan offers to fix it and Alice apologises for offloading. Later when Susan visits Brian to ask what he’s playing at, Brian asks her to kindly leave him alone. Susan tells him Alice is beside herself with worry and reveals that Alice is thinking about drinking. Alice has to manage her addiction as well as Jennifer’s loss. When Brian asks quietly what he’s supposed to do, Susan counsels be a father, that’s all she needs right now. Later Brian visits Alice to apologise and suggests getting together with Kate in the morning to look at coffins. He’ll be there to help make decisions from now on.
