Can Josh and Beth be friends? Kenton and Shula have a heart-to-heart.
Beth offers to help Josh pack eggs. Josh agrees grudgingly, and Beth presses on, steadfastly friendly. Josh assures her she’s no need to be polite – they’re good. Beth can tell this is disingenuous and cuts to the chase – Josh doesn’t think she and Ben should have got back together. Beth explains her side of the incident with Steph, finishing with the sincere affirmation that she loves Ben. In that case, declares Josh, it really is all good. Maybe it’s not such a bad idea for Beth to move in to the Stables.
Alice and Shula look through old pony club photos, and Shula gives Alice one of herself at her first pony club event. Shula comments that now she’s got Ben and Josh as house-sitters she needs to find a replacement for her at the Stables. She asks Alice how she’d feel about managing things there in her absence. Alice is hesitant but cautiously excited; she’ll give it some thought.
Kenton and David are casting about for ideas for Shula’s farewell gift. After some brotherly banter Kenton admits he doesn’t want her to go. David asserts that Shula’s strong, talented and determined, and needs to do this. They can visit. Kenton points out they all have jobs they can’t easily leave. Shula joins her brothers for lunch, insisting she doesn’t want a present. When Kenton counters that she deserves a special send off, Shula points out she’ll be taking the memories of the people she loves. He will always be her brother. Kenton sighs; he’s going to miss her.
