Lynda sends Lilian a photo of herself in her chosen wig, but is disappointed when Robert doesn’t notice it. Chris takes Lynda by surprise when he turns up with the hanging basket Robert commissioned. He noticed her hair immediately which flusters Lynda. While out shopping, Robert worries about what to say to Lynda about the wig; he doesn’t want her to have to pretend with him.
Lynda apologises to Chris for her manner earlier. She warms to the hanging basket but can’t help thinking it’s not really a gift that says passion. She considers how Chris and Robert are similar in some ways and decides to freshen up for Robert’s return.
Before he returns home, Robert takes a call from Lilian. She gets him to open up about his worries when it comes to returning to a physical relationship with Lynda. When she hears that he’s feeling overwhelmed by it all, Lilian tells him she has just the thing he needs. However, Lynda catches him taking a pill in the kitchen and she is appalled. She sees it as proof that he no longer finds her attractive. Lynda is furious with Lilian for sharing their conversation with Robert, and Robert has been banished to the shepherd’s hut. She’s not sure she’ll ever feel the same about him again.
