Emma and George get a Halloween fright, while Eddie saves the day.

Joe cuts a cauliflower for appreciative Ed. It will help their meal go further. They can't even afford sweets for Halloween. Joe sympathizes. His new dentures are going to cost a fortune.

Fallon bumps into Emma in the charity shop, poring over potential purchases for Keira. Fallon's looking forward to her Halloween cocktail event at Jaxx. She tells Emma she ought to come, but downcast Emma isn't in the mood and makes her excuses.

On their way home Emma's car finally and dramatically gives up the ghost on a very busy dual carriageway. Emma has to evacuate the car and calm panicky George. They're rescued by Eddie, who's close by.

When they get home, Emma judges Ed harshly, accusing him of not taking the incident seriously. She can't believe he's told George not to say anything to Will about it. Ed accuses her of mollycoddling George. Eventually Ed admits he feels bad, and Emma calms down. But when Ed points out they'll need another car, Emma's incredulous. How will they afford it? A loan would just mean more debt. They argue bitterly. Emma's ashamed to admit she can't manage, and Ed retorts he feels worse; he can't even provide for his own family.
