George faces the consequences of his actions.

George faces the consequences of his actions, and Ruth finds herself reconnecting.

Toby enjoys helping Ruth collect honey from Jill’s hives and Ruth invites him for dinner with the family later in the week.	  
Will tells George that both he and Emma are very concerned that George thought it was ok to post the video of Helen’s outburst.  George knows what Rob did to Helen, so he must understand why she freaked out about George helping Henry to meet Rob.  Will’s looked up some of the influencers George has been watching.  He can see the appeal of all the money, flash cars and girlfriends, but it’s not the real world.  George counters he doesn’t agree with everything that the influencers say, but he likes the stuff about it not being a crime to be a man.  Will says if he’d put his anger and bruised ego above everything else when Emma chose Ed over him, he’d not only have still lost Emma, but probably George and his family too. Unrepentant George says he’s not going to grovel to Helen.
Later Emma explains to George that a lot of what he’s said recently shows how he feels about women in general.  And the other person who thinks like that is Rob Titchener.  When George admits he saw how Rob was with Henry, Emma wonders why George would want to be a misogynist like him.  Emma and George reconcile, but Emma points out that she’s not the only person he’s hurt. Later George goes round to apologise to Helen, but Helen can’t forget about what George did and asks him to leave.
