Emotions run high for Lynda, and Harrison makes himself useful.

Fallon and Harrison receive a card from Harrison’s nan on their wedding anniversary. Fallon points out Harrison should tell her they’ve split up, sooner rather than later. Meanwhile he has a tricky day ahead of him with Lynda and Robert. Fallon wishes him well.

Jolene goes with Fallon to see the Cruck Barn. However the door key sticks and Fallon needs to call Lily for help. Lily’s excited for Fallon’s new job at Lower Loxley. Jolene’s impressed with the Cruck Barn and wonders whether Fallon would consider her for teaching at the singing workshops. Fallon explains awkwardly that her teachers will need to be experienced; the courses are expensive and she needs them to do well. There’s a moment as Jolene realises she’s lost Fallon to this new role, before she admits that whilst missing her at the pub, she’ll work it out. Fallon feels Lower Loxley is where she needs to be right now.
Lily impresses Harrison by pinpointing some CCTV evidence on a shady character seen near Grey Gables. Harrison reckons she has the golden touch. Lily sympathises over his split with Fallon.

Lynda signs the paperwork to relinquish Monty. Harrison takes her fingerprints as she accepts a conditional caution. Harrison admires her dignity. Afterwards exhausted Lynda and Robert agree kind Harrison is a good friend to them. They speculate regarding Monty’s future. Not wanting to revisit the unthinkable, they turn their attention to their busy guest list. They resolve to get through their ordeal by focusing on hard work, together.
