Things are eventful at Brookfield, and Chelsea gives some advice.

Chelsea and Emma help Fallon get ready for the Hen-Do at Brookfield Events Barn. Pip arrives and flags that Jill’s coming too, as she’s miserable while Leonard’s away and Pip wants to keep her entertained with cake decorating. However, later on Jill’s found interfering with Fallon’s ingredients in the kitchen, explaining it’s because she’s representing the bride-to-be’s absent grannies. Pip reluctantly heads off to sort it out.
Chelsea mentions to Emma that George was a bit off at Brad’s birthday drinks, but when Emma probes further Chelsea doesn’t know why. Emma wishes children came with an instruction manual. When Emma heads off, Fallon asks advice from Pip about Emma’s forthcoming 40th birthday. Pip thinks it’s a great idea that Fallon’s going to make a cake in the shape of a chainsaw.
The Hen-Do goes well, but Emma’s quiet when Stella shows her some photos she took of Chelsea, Ben and George. Emma later points out to Fallon that everyone’s smiling and having a laugh in the pictures, but George isn’t smiling in any of them. Fallon reckons he’s just being a teenager, but later Chelsea agrees with Emma that George looks like he’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders. Chelsea wonders about George’s mental health, after her experience with Ben’s struggles, and suggests that Emma talks to Ruth and David. They wonder if George has post-traumatic stress, linked to his part in the Am rescue. They all agree that whatever the reason, Emma should just show George that’s she’s there for him in a non-judgemental way.
