Kate turns up unexpectedly at Jakob’s surgery, finding him covered in blood from an injured horse. Why is she here? Kate wants them to move in together. Jakob is not sure – they tried it before and it didn’t work. Kate’s hurt and frustrated by his lack of spontaneity. Kate is also avoiding Peggy and is still angry with her, but Jakob puts Kate off moving out and leaving Peggy vulnerable. Jakob points out that for such a proud woman as Peggy, admitting her mistakes and apologising to Alice was significant. Moving out could also do Alice harm.
Fallon praises Lynda for her scarecrow-making idea for the fete, but Lynda plays it down and awkwardly admits that it was Joy’s idea, apologising for giving the impression it was hers.
Concerned about Lynda, Fallon stops working to listen, as Lynda praises Joy’s creative energy – Lynda feels she is no longer the beating heart of Ambridge. Fallon reminds Lynda of her great ideas and reassures her she is still needed in Ambridge.
Fallon’s worried about Alice, who’s leaving tomorrow for a month. Lynda compares Alice to herself – they had different experiences; alcoholism versus the Grey Gables explosion, but are similar in having to face their demons and rebuild themselves. Friends get each other through and Fallon is a good friend to Alice, Lynda points out.
