Ben attempts to make a difference, and Eddie surveys the damage.

Keira and Eddie are surveying the damaged trees at the Community Orchard the day after the storm. Many trees have been destroyed and there are hundreds of apples to collect before they start to rot. Keira鈥檚 glad to have mild injuries, enough to allow her off school for the day. Eddie comments on how the storm is good for the tree surgery business. After half an hour of collecting apples they鈥檝e still not made an impact, so Keira suggests raising an army of apple collectors. As a community, they鈥檝e all been through the mill so maybe making things out of the apples together will help everyone.
Josh joins Ben in sweeping up glass in The Orangery. Lily is sorting insurance, Freddie is holding the fort at Casey Meats and Elizabeth hasn鈥檛 left Vince鈥檚 side.
Josh reports the huge amount of damage across Ambridge, however Tom鈥檚 new super greenhouse has remained intact. Josh isn鈥檛 keen to join the group chat Joy has set up to look for her missing cat, Ena. Sporting a nasty bruise, Chelsea joins them to help. She鈥檚 hoping for news on Vince. They know he鈥檚 conscious but no other update. Ben remembers the noise when the lightning struck the chimney, like a bomb exploding. Chelsea reflects that she might need more work while The Orangery is closed, and Josh and Ben book in for haircuts to keep her busy. Chelsea can鈥檛 stop worrying, as Vince took the hit to save her. Why can鈥檛 someone tell them what鈥檚 going on?
