Freddie鈥檚 anxious to know what decision will be reached by the trustees on the controversial painting. They鈥檙e meeting today. He鈥檚 hoping they鈥檒l recommend selling it; he鈥檚 ashamed every time he sees it. But the decision doesn鈥檛 go his way. The trustees want to keep the painting. Elizabeth isn鈥檛 prepared to erase part of their family history either, though she鈥檚 happy to keep the explanatory text panel in place. She suggests Freddie trains the guides to talk about it. Freddie鈥檚 bitterly disappointed and struggles to make Elizabeth understand his frustration. Later at Elizabeth鈥檚 birthday dinner with the family, Freddie can鈥檛 let it go, and leaves for some air. David goes after him. He suggests to Freddie that his mum must really believe her stance on the painting is right. Freddie appreciates all his mum鈥檚 done for him, but insists this time she鈥檚 wrong. He draws parallels between the painting and the modern slavery which caused the Grey Gables explosion, something of which he has first-hand experience. Having to see the picture every day is completely unbearable. David says he鈥檒l speak to Elizabeth.
