Toby鈥檚 trying to avoid Helen. He鈥檚 putting off telling her the milk gin scheme is a non-starter. Kenton covers for him, but finally Helen catches up with him. As he bumbles through his explanation of mistakes in the figures and the bottom line that he can鈥檛 afford to pursue it, Helen laughs gently and assures him that whilst it鈥檚 a shame, she鈥檚 fine with it. He shouldn鈥檛 worry too much. Relieved Toby changes the subject; the new Borsetshire Blue seems to be going down well. Helen agrees. She鈥檚 hopeful the gamble has paid off.
Alice is fed up of Kate using her as a Jakob substitute and dreaming up distraction activities for them both. Once out of Kate鈥檚 way she goes to see Jakob. She lays it on the line. Kate can鈥檛 cope without him, she鈥檚 mad about him, and any impression he has to the contrary is just a front. She recommends direct action on his part is what鈥檚 needed; she can guarantee it will work. Jakob does as prescribed, and whilst Kate makes him work for it, he manages to convince her with charm and humble apologies that he genuinely likes her. She admits the feeling鈥檚 mutual and Alice walks in to see how it鈥檚 going just as they fall into each other鈥檚 arms. Relieved Alice retreats.
