Susan has a crisis of confidence and Brian is perturbed by the contents of a letter
Brian spots an odd communication coming off the printer at Willow Cottage, but says nothing to Jennifer. Later at dinner with Neil and Susan, he drunkenly confesses to Neil he read the letter, which he believes is to the Courier agony aunt from Jennifer, and calls into question her satisfaction with their intimacy. Jennifer鈥檚 mystified when he makes an attempt later to seduce her, until he tells her what her saw. Amused Jennifer explains she was the recipient not the sender 鈥� she鈥檚 the agony aunt. Hugely relieved Brian鈥檚 happy she鈥檚 using her talents to help others. They agree there鈥檚 always room for improvement in a marriage, and continue their evening.
Susan worries for George and Will, and is clearly unsettled. Chris asks what鈥檚 wrong, and she admits she and Neil aren鈥檛 on good terms after he implied she was a gossip. She hopes this isn鈥檛 how the village really sees her. Chris assures her they wouldn鈥檛 change her for the world. Cheered, she enjoys her dinner with Brian and Jennifer, and her and Neil reconcile. On reflection, she feels she鈥檚 just naturally interested in the world around her, and resolves to be present at the bids for Peggy鈥檚 Trust money on Friday. People coming into the shop will want the full low-down.
