Lynda and Joy press Lilian about their idea to link up the Fete with the Stables’ event and Lilian’s keen. She has questions about logistics, and the dray shuttle idea starts to become more elaborate. In the Fete meeting, Lynda cleverly adapts her role, leaving Kirsty lumbered with litter picking. Lilian uses this to work on Kirsty and persuade her to move her loyalties to Cantering On – perhaps a Rewilding stall? Emma has told Will about George’s real involvement in the crash, and they need to decide what to do. Remembering Nic and the accident with Matt Crawford, Will thinks it best to do nothing. But it’s not the same, says Emma. Innocent Alice could go to prison. George needs to hand himself in - horrible as the prospect of prison is, they need to persuade him. George is angry that Will knows, but Will tells him to go to the Police. Emma bumps into Alice and carefully asks her about any developments with the court case. Alice is grateful to George for being prepared to speak in court and hopes the process will help him remember any tiny details, especially if he saw anyone else there that night. Emma, Will and George discuss Alice’s memory, as Emma starts to get paranoid. She worries about George piling on the lies, but he has an idea to give a statement about seeing someone else near the bridge. George thinks of someone – he could just give a vague description of someone who looks like that Harry (Chilcott) – then George and Alice will both be off the hook.
