Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Chris wakes Alice with a cup of tea and she challenges him about having a beer with Ed. He admits guilt and she’s cross, but not for long. Though afterwards Alice wonders if she and Chris are drifting apart. Chris is happy they didn’t row and plans to do something to make up for his mistake.
Ed expects an earful when he’s summoned to Â鶹ԼÅÄ Farm by Alice; she’s told him Brian wants a word. But Ed’s surprised at how nice Brian is. Brian puts his short fuse over the grain mix-up down to the stress of Adam’s accident, and he offers Ed a bonus. Later Ed drops in on Alice to try to clear the air, but she can’t forgive him for how he spoke to her last week and she gets nasty. Afterwards, Ed thinks over how Alice was – she was clearly drunk. She reminds him of himself from a long time ago when he got really low. He wonders whether to tell anyone. Talking to Chris might do more harm than good. After weighing it up he decides to stay quiet for now, and vows to look out for Alice himself, as a guardian angel. He feels she might need one.
