Alice has an important appointment, and Pip feels aggrieved.

Pip tells Chelsea she felt betrayed when Chelsea didn’t tell her that Ben was the father.  And now they’ve got Vince trying to ruin Brookfield because of it.  Chelsea wonders what difference it would’ve made if she had told Pip?  Later Pip apologises, saying she was feeling stressed.  Chelsea opens up saying it feels like everyone thinks she’s trash and only getting what she deserves.  Pip says she’s thought about what Chelsea said and she wouldn’t have changed her advice to Chelsea even if she’d known about Ben.  And it’s wrong to blame Chelsea for what Vince is doing to them.  When Pip mentions Ben’s giving himself a hard time, Chelsea says to tell Ben he’ll do alright.  Pip thinks Chelsea will too.  She seems so mature.
Alice is at her old rehab centre with Chris waiting to give a talk. When Chris mentions the stained glass window, Alice says she’s keeping out of it.  Chris worries when Alice goes to get some air because she’s feeling unnerved by being back at the centre.  She feels she can’t do the talk and asks Chris to fetch the car.  Meanwhile Sally, one of the residents, asks Alice a favour – she’d like Alice to read a diary she’s written about her life before rehab.  She wants Alice’s opinion before reading it to the group.  When Alice asks why, Sally says it’s because Alice has survived the experience.  Alice decides to do the talk.  Afterwards Sally says she noticed Alice was holding her diary throughout the talk.  Alice said it helped; Sally’s story is her story too.
