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鈥檚 coming too, as she鈥檚 miserable while Leonard鈥檚 away and Pip wants to keep her entertained with cake decorating. However, later on Jill鈥檚 found interfering with Fallon鈥檚 ingredients in the kitchen, explaining it鈥檚 because she鈥檚 representing the bride-to-be鈥檚 absent grannies. Pip reluctantly heads off to sort it out.
Chelsea mentions to Emma that George was a bit off at Brad鈥檚 birthday drinks, but when Emma probes further Chelsea doesn鈥檛 know why. Emma wishes children came with an instruction manual. When Emma heads off, Fallon asks advice from Pip about Emma鈥檚 forthcoming 40th birthday. Pip thinks it鈥檚 a great idea that Fallon鈥檚 going to make a cake in the shape of a chainsaw.
The Hen-Do goes well, but Emma鈥檚 quiet when Stella shows her some photos she took of Chelsea, Ben and George. Emma later points out to Fallon that everyone鈥檚 smiling and having a laugh in the pictures, but George isn鈥檛 smiling in any of them. Fallon reckons he鈥檚 just being a teenager, but later Chelsea agrees with Emma that George looks like he鈥檚 got the weight of the world on his shoulders. Chelsea wonders about George鈥檚 mental health, after her experience with Ben鈥檚 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鈥檚 she鈥檚 there for him in a non-judgemental way.
