At Grey Gables, it is the time and place to remember, and there is quite a revelation.
Hester joins Carol, Jill, Chris and Peggy for lunch at Grey Gables - lots of reminiscing and confusion from Hester about the past/ Grace Archer/ Peggy's two Jacks. There are echoes of 1955/ Grace - i.e Carol leaving the table briefly to go and look for a lost earring.
Toby wants goose on the Grey Gables Xmas menu and talks to Ian. Ian accepts, on condition of getting exclusivity. Peggy remembers having Michaelmas goose - Hester remembers someone dying from eating it (possibly getting confused with Agatha Christie)
Jill gets talking candidly to Hester, who encourages Jill that she'll be fine.
When Carol's out of the way, Hester blurts out quite normally that Carol killed her ill husband John, which leaves Peggy and Jill wondering - could she have?
