Tom reaches the end of his tether, and Susan has a brainwave.

Emma finds Susan cooking George a full English breakfast. He clearly has Susan wrapped around his little finger. Emma tells Susan the charity George is fundraising for is called Follow Your Star, providing opportunities for foster children. George insists he has a plan to raise money. Later, Lee chats to Emma at the Tearoom about Henry’s his first detention, after forgetting his homework. But he kept quiet about Keira and some others getting detention too. Emma remarks on the trouble George used to get into at school. Working at Berrow is great for him.  George and Susan arrive to discuss fundraising and it turns out George doesn’t have a plan after all. They come up with the idea of a sponsored hay bale stack. George wants Emma to do the admin, but Emma insists, if he’s going to show Oliver he’s sorry for breaking Caroline’s bench, George needs to put in the graft himself.	
Tom’s delivering breakfast ingredients for the campers at Rewilding Ambridge. He thanks Kirsty for the emotional support she’s given Helen recently. Tom reveals he bumped into exhausted looking Lee earlier, who told him about Henry’s detention. Lee’s worried Jack and Henry are picking up on the tension at home. Later, Lee visits Tom. He thinks he may have overstated his concern about the boys. He doesn’t want Helen to know he’s been worrying about them. Lee then reveals he heard Helen crying in the bathroom last night. He wishes he knew how to help her. There must be more they can do.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
