Susan starts a rumour and Robert reluctantly concedes
Lynda and Robert are admiring the fruits of their labours in the garden ahead of their entry in the Flower and Produce Show. Lynda wonders whether they鈥檝e been bold enough. It鈥檚 art, and needs a coherent vision. They must follow their instincts, and subvert the form. Her desire for more trellis in order to achieve this puzzles and dismays Robert, but he reluctantly goes with it.
Philip isn鈥檛 enamoured with judgemental Jennifer, who鈥檇 slagged him off after the explosion. Kirsty explains Jennifer regrets this, and is very grateful to Gavin for rescuing Alice. Kirsty notes Gavin seems more sensitive these days. She tries to cheer up Philip by pointing out how their spot on Susan鈥檚 show has changed things for them. As new work comes in, he concedes she might be right.
Later, Philip makes a call from his van, trying to offload Blake on to one of his contacts.
Susan and Kirsty agree that Gavin鈥檚 come a long way. Kirsty鈥檚 proud of him. Then Susan shares that she overheard him on the phone; something about trouble with the horses. She hopes he doesn鈥檛 have a gambling problem. Kirsty鈥檚 sure Susan鈥檚 mistaken. Susan persists, terrier-like. Kirsty shuts her down politely, but asks her not to mention it to anyone else. Of course, agrees Susan. She knows Kirsty will keep an eye on Gavin, and won鈥檛 let such a nice young man go astray.
