Tracy struggles to keep her cool and Kirsty tries to make sense of the situation

Tensions run high as Tracy takes Chelsea out to drive on roads for the first time after practising at Brookfield. Tracy insists on driving them back home so that Chelsea doesn’t overdo it – the practise drive has gone well and Tracy thinks Chelsea should quit while she’s ahead. But then Chelsea points out Tracy’s doing 39mph in a 30 zone and Lynda has clocked her while on Speedwatch duty. 

Tracy begs Lynda not to report her speeding and Lynda emphasises the importance of parents setting an example to their children. Chelsea joins in with Lynda’s telling-off of her mum and then suggests she takes over the driving and they give Lynda a lift home. Lynda accepts the offer though is then later shocked to learn that Chelsea has only had three driving lessons so far. 

After a night in a hostel, Harrison has brought Blake back to Ambridge and he chats to Kirsty in the Tearoom. He’s really missed Philip and Gavin. Kirsty lets him believe that Philip’s away on holiday. Kirsty asks Blake about where he’s been since working for Philip and he gives some details about where he’s been but he finds the recollection stressful. 

Kirsty comes clean to Blake and explains that Philip is actually in prison because he broke the law getting Blake and the others to work for no money. But Blake won’t be convinced that Philip as a bad man. Blake is eager to persuade the police to get Philip released. Kirsty tries to get him to see the reality but he only gets more and more distressed, accusing her of lying. He runs from Kirsty into the path of the car that’s being driven by Chelsea.
