Eddie bumps into Elizabeth outside the Shop and admits Clarrie was secretly relieved not to get the abattoir job. Eddie then confesses his nervousness at visiting George, in case he’s changed. Elizabeth sympathises and gives Eddie some cash to buy something for George from the vending machine, as he won’t be allowed to take biscuits in. At the prison it’s an emotional reunion, before Eddie tells George the latest gossip from the market. Nervous Eddie notices a couple of prisoners staring at him. George explains it’s because he’s told them what a legend Eddie is, with all his scams. George assumes money is a worry at home and wants to help, telling Eddie his big idea for securing the family’s future : biodegradable coffins. His cellmate’s dad was buried in cardboard coffin. Despite Eddie’s scepticism George reckons it’s a surefire winner: cheaper and more eco-friendly than traditional wood.

At the abattoir Freddie finds Rochelle outside on a break, and asks her how it’ going. They exchange small talk, Rochelle saying she’s looking forward to her induction tour. Later, as they go round the cutting room, Rochelle is very inquisitive about the process and what happens to the animals before they are killed. She’s especially interested in the jobs of cutting and trimming. But as soon as they leave the room Rochelle rushes off to the toilets, where she vomits, before steeling herself to keep going. Later, back at Lower Loxley, Freddie discusses with Elizabeth how keen Rochelle is. When Elizabeth checks whether that's a good thing, Freddie supposes it is.
