Chris questions Alice’s judgement, and not everyone is happy with the new look in the Tearoom.

Alice is enjoying Mother’s Day morning with Chris and Martha. Her gift is a charity shop teacup. Chris jokes she might have had a ceramic wellie boot with a face. She is delighted but concerned something seems off. She asks Chris if he is OK but he says he wants to talk about that tomorrow. She won’t let it go and he reveals angrily that he knows about Harry. Alice says Harrison shouldn’t have told him. She had planned to but the time wasn’t right: if anyone should be angry it should be her. He counters, that as an addict, she must have seen the signs in Harry.

Tony and George are hanging cow hides at the tearoom. Fallon is unsure, commenting they may make the place look darker. Tony is enthusiastic but George is torn, saying although they are nice Fallon might have a point. She is impatient for them to finish as customers for her Mothering Sunday afternoon tea will be arriving soon. Kate is horrified by the hide, saying she can’t eat a vegan cream tea under an animal’s skin. It’s bad enough to eat it, without displaying it like a trophy.

Alice arrives and has an awkward conversation with Fallon about Harrison and his generous gift for Martha. She wishes Fallon luck with her police interview later this week. Alice is reluctant to discuss the matter with Kate but after some prodding, reveals that she and Chris had a horrible row over Harry and what happened with Harrison. Kate is sympathetic but says Alice needs to prioritise her own wellbeing.
