Fallon’s pleased with the birthday cake she’s made for Nova and Seren, until Harrison points out Tom said ‘two’ cakes. Fallon’s horrified; the cake was supposed to help clinch the Tea Room’s longer lease. Fallon has no choice but to make another cake – she needs to impress those Archers! Harrison tells busy Fallon he bumped into Lynda. She still has concerns about the fete. The Grundys have thrown out many of the initial ideas and Joy has no idea what’s replaced them. Eddie and co are even having private meetings about it. Fallon doesn’t see the problem, as long as there is a fete. She thinks Eddie should be allowed to have a tilt at it. If it’s a disaster, then everyone will know who to blame. Harrison tells Fallon later that when he called Lynda to let her know Fallon’s quitting the committee, Lynda declared the idea of letting Eddie dig himself a hole was a very good one. Will, Ed and Emma chat about George. Will says George was really upset by Hannah’s gossiping, but when Ed points out George’s misogyny, Emma thinks Hannah would do anything to save herself. Will’s not so sure about it all after talking to Neil. Ed expands that Berrow is just the latest in a line of ‘George situations’. They agree they all want what’s best for George and need to help him now, before it’s too late. But George is defensive when they try to talk to him, and things escalate when Ed lets slip that Emma helped get George’s Bridge Farm work. George tells them they’re pathetic - Will couldn’t even get his wife back when she was shagging Ed behind his back. When he calls Emma a slut, she slaps him. George storms out.
