Ed faces an awkward encounter and Shula admits responsibility
Lilian is affronted to discover that Shula and Jakob have put Amir and Aziz on a diet. She thinks it鈥檚 no wonder Jakob was looking shifty. Shula takes responsibility for the horses鈥� weight gain, but she鈥檚 confident a diet is the right course of action.
Gavin and Emma get to know one another over a drink. Having been roped into a game of cribbage with Barry, Gavin thinks it鈥檚 not the name of the pub that should be banned, it鈥檚 cribbage. Awkwardness ensues when Ed arrives and is introduced to Gavin. Emma explains that Gavin鈥檚 just a friend, but Ed reminds her she鈥檚 a free agent.
Lilian confides to Shula that Gavin and Emma鈥檚 body language suggest they鈥檙e more than friends. Seeing Ed in the pub has made Lilian think the Grundys鈥� resistance to attending is waning. There鈥檚 been no action in days, and all their efforts have done is persuade The B to push harder for new customers.
Ed finds Jazzer having a cheeky drink at the aquaponics polytunnel. Jazzer has plans to kit out his area with a mini fridge and curtain. Ed admits he walked in on Emma鈥檚 鈥榙ate鈥�. Despite Jazzer鈥檚 reassurance, Ed reckons Emma is better off with flashy Gavin. Jazzer tells him not to give up on her now. Ed wants to be happy for Emma, but he can鈥檛.
