Elizabeth and Jim struggle to make conversation before David joins them to make up Team Détente for The Bull’s quiz night. Jim acknowledges he shouldn’t have been so forceful with David over the charging station campaign. David reveals to Jim that Justin had warned him that Jim had Brookfield in his sights. Later, David and Jim wonder about Justin’s involvement in the planned charging station. David tells Jim the name of the person who bought their land is Marcus Bonneville. Jim relishes the detective work they now have to do.
During the quiz Elizabeth tells David that Lily wouldn’t feel confident moving nearer to university right now. The Stables a is good move for her towards living completely independently.
Justin startles the horses by arriving at the Stables in an almost silent electric car. He’s bought if for Lilian and he casually announces that Damara is an investor in the proposed electric vehicle charging station. Lilian is wise to him simply wanting to spoil her, but still, has no objections to the new car.
On their way into The Bull, Lilian tries to convince Justin to stick with the Eurovision committee even though he’s not really enjoying it at the moment.
After trying to locate Brian all day, Alice finally speaks to him on the phone. Relieved, she heads home. Lilian reports to Justin that Alice was getting concerned. Justin wonders if Brian’s up to his old tricks and doesn’t want anyone to know what he’s up to.
