Adam faces an uphill struggle, and Paul has a delicate issue.

Tony’s irritated when George is late for his farm shift.  George says it’s because he couldn’t sleep last night and fudges that it’s because the family’s selling Bartleby.  Whilst Tony is sympathetic, he needs George to be focused at work.  Later he discovers George napping against a bale and is furious.

At a GP appointment with Azra, Paul explains about feeling itchy recently and how he now has spots in an embarrassing place.  He’s worried that Etienne’s open relationship may be the cause.  He’s relieved when it turns out to be insect bites, but Azra advises that Paul and Etienne might need to revisit safe sex in light of the open relationship.

Adam’s surprised when Alice appears unexpectedly at Bridge Farm when he thought she was still in London.  She needs to go to Borchester Police Station to be formally charged and wants Adam to go with her.  Alice is glad to be back from Ruairi’s, though there’s lots of people she wants to avoid.  At the police station Adam checks whether Alice had a drink when she went to the toilet, and she’s forced to admit she did.  Later Alice is charged with dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drink or drugs - the hearing’s on Friday.  Alice is scared she’ll end up in prison. It makes her want to drink even more.  Adam decides to make a GP appointment to see if Alice can be prescribed a short-term fix and Alice realising there’s no choice, agrees to it.
