Tracy’s suspicious that Brad or Chelsea and her college friends have held a party while she and Jazzer were away, because the house is so clean. But Tracy believes them when they have matching alibis. It remains a mystery. Emma despairs about George treating her and Ed like dirt. After all they’ve done for him, all they get is a bucketful of abuse. And she can’t get over what George called her last week. They join the rest of the family for fete preparation duties, which Ed reckons might help take her mind off George. But Emma’s feeling guilty about slapping George. They meet up with Will and Mia and they all wonder about Eddie’s secret fete project in the barn. Later Ed tells Will Emma’s in a state because of what George said. Ed thinks Will should’ve been tougher on George growing up. But Will says although George was out of order, he obviously feels strongly about a lot of stuff. Punishment won’t work and they’ve got to ask themselves what they’re trying to achieve. Brad appears with a bunch of flowers for Mia, to mark their new start. When Mia starts to say cut flowers are bad for the environment, Brad butts in that he’d found out they were Nic’s favourite flowers. He thought Mia might like to put them on Nic’s grave. Brad could come with Mia, if she wanted. Mia’s touched and later at the graveside with Brad, tells Nic that Brad’s a great boyfriend. This is the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for her.
