Chris delivers and positions Lynda and Robert’s new bird feeder. It’s not quite what they expected but they don’t let on to Chris. Chris confesses to them his concerns over Alice. She’s been given a clean bill of health but he can’t help worrying, especially when his work takes him too far away to pop home to check on her. Lynda speaks from her perspective of the importance of not being fussed over. Robert suggests gently that Alice might well need some support. Lynda emphasises that it’s about trust – Alice speaking up, and Chris listening. Chris takes this on board.
Lynda and Robert bicker lightly when Lynda insists on the new piece of mirrored trellis going on Robert’s ‘side’ of the garden. He believes it will detract from his star feature, the begonias. He’s not having it. They agree to move the rather ‘odd’ bird feeder to somewhere it can’t be seen, behind the willow on Robert’s side. They also agree they should enter the Best Garden competition separately, as two distinctively styled sections. It doubles their chances of winning!
Alice talks to a counsellor about her pregnancy. She’s considering a termination, and admits she hasn’t told Chris about the baby yet. The timing’s all wrong and she doesn’t feel ready. She’s very confused. She pledges to get back to the counsellor soon. Later, she snaps at Chris. She tells him she’s still processing what happened last week. She just needs a few days, then she’ll be fine.
