Kate鈥檚 plan backfires and Shula is offended by a surprising request

Shula despairs that people still can鈥檛 understand she didn鈥檛 pick Freddie herself to have the winning art project idea. Meanwhile she鈥檚 sinking under a mountain of donated plastic bottles. Alistair sympathises. He updates her on how his father鈥檚 coping with his situation. He reports Jim鈥檚 busy preparing for Brainboxes; immersing himself in something he enjoys seems to be working.
Ian鈥檚 got a crisis at Grey Gables involving a blender, some raspberry sauce and one of his chefs. He hopes he鈥檒l be leaving his kitchen in capable hands when he goes on maternity leave. Roy notes with some discomfort that Lexi will be back soon to have the baby.
Tracy鈥檚 convinced she鈥檚 seen another ghost. Roy reminds her she鈥檚 still on probation. Undeterred, she calls on Shula for help. Does the Church still do exorcisms? Shula misinterprets Tracy鈥檚 question as a joke at her expense, and sends her on her way.
As Kate puts Jakob through endless hoops on their date, she eventually reveals she鈥檚 been testing him 鈥� and he鈥檚 passed. He counters that he鈥檚 been doing a test of his own, which she鈥檚 failed. She鈥檚 talked only about herself, and has been openly flirting with other people. They鈥檙e completely incompatible鈥� but he makes her light-hearted, and she has passion. In order to gather more evidence, they share a kiss.
