Does Toby have something to share? A Ray of hope for Tracy?

Pip’s noticed an improvement in Rosie’s wellbeing recently, but Toby’s downbeat. He’s been thinking about moving out, but at the same time is saddened by the thought of leaving Rosie. Pip’s confident they could make it work. Toby reveals his dad has offered him a job in his wine import business – he’d have to leave Ambridge. He’s ready to turn his dad’s offer down but Pip challenges him to think again. She reassures him that he can still very much be in Rosie’s life while living and working away. 
Tracy’s called in to speak to HR at the chicken factory. She’s shocked to learn that Gemma’s accusing her of bullying. Tracy tries to explain that it’s the other way round, but she struggles to put specific examples into words. When the car scratching incident comes up, Tracy’s position looks pretty weak. HR manager Ray asserts that he’s there to listen, but it’s hard for him to do much with the general instances Tracy’s given him. Gemma’s said she’s scared to work with her. What Ray can tell her is that Gemma isn’t keen to prosecute Chelsea. Her feelings are exacerbated by the difficulties between her and Tracy. Tracy sees that the problem is perceived as being her. She can’t afford to lose the job, but Gemma’s not going to leave her any choice. Later Tracy tells Jazzer and Chelsea that the lawsuit for the car damage has been dropped. She lies that her and Gemma will now work different shifts. Chelsea doesn’t have to worry, it’s all been sorted.
