A large anti-racist march sets off towards the headquarters of AXE (Allies Across England).

Charlie tells Ash to leave work early and on his way out, he is cornered by Hitchens and threatened with a knife. Ash knocks him to the ground. Evans, hiding round the corners picks up the knife and takes Hitchens away. Eddie who witnesses the fight, but did not see the knife, is horrified by the attack and Ash’s violence.

Rachel, who is still shaky from her previous attack, finally cracks under the pressure and locks herself in the toilet. Kate finds her crying and advises her to seek counselling.
