The Archers

Kenton gloats to Jolene about his Flower and Produce award-winning apple and cheese pie. Lilian toasts George’s sentencing with them, relieved that Alice and Fallon can both draw a line under it all now. They look through entries for the competition to name the kitten, but they aren’t impressed, so decide to give it another week. However, amongst the entries there’s a message from someone who is interested in the old Shires ashtray in the competition photo. They agree to get in touch with him.

Emma can’t be bothered to get up – not only has her boy been taken away, but they’ve put him in an adult prison. Susan reminds her that George will be on a wing with people his age and that George said he was ok with it. Emma retorts that since they forced him to tell the truth, George has had no choice but to be brave. She knows he’s scared. And she hasn’t had her phone call from him yet. Susan takes her in hand, ordering Emma to get up and get dressed. She needs to think about Keira too.

Later, Emma thanks Susan for chivvying her along. Susan advises her to keep putting one foot in front the other, so that when George rings he’ll hear normality in Emma’s voice. Emma agrees that George is stronger than she thinks. They’ll get him through it. When George rings later he is on edge, because of something kicking off in the wing. When they’re interrupted by a bang inside the prison Emma becomes desperate, before George is cut off.
