Alistair takes the plunge, and thereβs a near miss for Joy.
Azra reveals she is going to be moving in to Beechwood and, delighted, Joy quickly shares all her intel on the local residents, before inviting her new neighbour to join her later at Deniseβs Dance Fit class at the Church.
Alistair has a pub date with Laura from the Little Croxley cricket team. The conversation quickly becomes stilted, and Laura politely asks whatβs going on. Alistair is sorry for messing Laura about and makes excuses. The actual issue is someone else, but itβs complicated. Lauraβs not offended but knows that itβs time to leave Alistair and re-join her friends who are sitting at another table. She wishes him well, and good luck with his βsituationshipβ.
Alistair goes to find Denise at the church and explains that he liked Laura β but his mind was elsewhere. Denise laughs as Alistair recalls how he embarrassed himself, but gets upsets when she realises no-oneβs there for her fitness class, apart from Alistair whoβs volunteered to take part. Denise heads to the vestry to pack up her equipment. She admits everything is upsetting her β not least their work situation and fear of Paul noticing and wondering whatβs going on. Trying to act normal is impossible, and then at home she knows that John knows somethingβs wrong but doesnβt want to talk. Alistair comforts Denise and they have a passionate embrace, but stop as they hear Joy and Azra arriving in the church, leaving flustered Denise to re-focus on the class. Denise and Alistair wonder what theyβre playing at.
