DeepSummary
Kenton presents George with an engraved pint glass as a token of appreciation for his bravery in rescuing Fallon from the car crash. George seems downcast, and Fallon notes how it's a lot for a 19-year-old to take on. Fallon can't face going home yet, so she stays at The Bull, hoping that focusing on George as a distraction will help her and Harrison spend time together without addressing their troubles.
Mick helps Kenton fabricate a plausible location for the fictional injured sheep story they concocted to cover for Kenton being with Denise on the night of the crash. Kenton doesn't want to tell Paul the truth, as it's not his secret to reveal regarding his relationship with Denise.
Harrison texts Fallon suggesting they write a nice post about George, the 'Ambridge superhero', and Fallon sees it as a way to be with Harrison while avoiding their personal issues. Kenton reminds Fallon that avoiding difficult conversations may not help in the long run.

Alistair catches up with Mick to explain why he’s been dragged into Alistair’s alibi about treating a sheep on the night of the crash. Mick explains that he saw Alistair and Denise on the river and put two and two together about their relationship. They saved Mick and Joy’s lives, the least they owe Alistair is a bit of discretion. Alistair asks Mick for help in pinpointing a fictional location for the sheep. It’s a bit of a logistical nightmare and Mick wonders if it might be easier for Alistair to tell Paul the truth. But Alistair says it’s not his truth to tell.
Kenton visits George to present him with an engraved pint glass which will be kept at The Bull for him. Kenton and Jolene think George was really brave to help rescue everyone from the car crash in the river Am. When George bats the praise away, Kenton says he’s also there because he wants George to meet up with Fallon – he thinks it will do her some good. George reluctantly agrees and later Fallon tells George he shouldn’t underestimate what he did, he literally saved Fallon’s life. But afterwards, Fallon comments to Kenton how down George seemed – it’s a lot for a nineteen-year-old to take on. Fallon admits she can’t face being in the house with Harrison yet and asks to stay a bit longer at The Bull. Harrison texts suggesting that they write a nice post about George and Fallon thinks it’s a good idea to be together but focussing on someone else. Anything else is strictly off limits.
