There’s a surprise development for Chris, while Ian finds himself in over his head.

While Xander and Maddie play outside at Honeysuckle Cottage, Ian and Lottie set up Ian’s first online PTA meeting. Ian’s set a clear agenda, but Lottie doubts it’ll be as straightforward as he thinks. Later, she’s amused by Ian’s exasperation at how chaotic the meeting was. Ian’s determined to stick with it though, and determined to prove his mettle at the disco on Wednesday. Lottie heads off to Apple Day, but Ian won’t join her out of loyalty to Adam, who’s still firmly anti-Grundy.

Alice sees Chris at The Forge and tells him she’s taking Martha to Apple Day. Chris says Alice has an unhealthy obsession with the Grundys, but Alice argues she’s making an effort to move on. Chris is scathing about Alice’s attempt to make up with Emma. Nevertheless, Alice tries to persuade him to go with them.

Later, while Emma’s writing a letter to George, Clarrie tells her how a lot more people than they expected have turned up for Apple Day. When Emma goes outside, she finds Chris there with Alice. Initial awkwardness between the siblings eases when Emma and Chris have a laugh at the apple peel predictions. Meanwhile, when Alice helps Clarrie make apple sauce, Clarrie’s full of praise for how supportive Alice has been today. Alice sees it as part of her recovery process, including with Martha. Clarrie’s just happy to see that Chris and Emma have at least broken the ice. She thinks the whole family have realised they need to stick together. All they want is for the nightmare to be over.
