A Grundy鈥檚 work is never done, and Brian makes a big decision.
Clarrie has a list of outstanding jobs for Eddie, who protests it鈥檚 Sunday. Irritated Clarrie鈥檚 weighed down with things to do, and still anxious about the installation of the observation window at the dairy. Later she comments to Susan that maybe she should have a word with Helen about it. Susan points out they鈥檝e agreed the window鈥檚 a good thing, but Clarrie still has worries. Susan reckons she鈥檚 overthinking it. Reporting this back to Eddie, Clarrie鈥檚 frustrated to find he鈥檚 only half listening, in a hurry to head off to help a mate, and declaring he might be late home.
Brian knows his children are trying to keep him busy. Lightly denying this, Alice is pleased Adam鈥檚 arranged a trip to Cheltenham Festival this week. Suddenly Alice is distracted by something she sees, and heads towards the shop. It鈥檚 clear she鈥檚 following Joy, but is embarrassed when Joy turns round. Brian later explains to Joy that Alice had caught a glimpse of her scarf and had briefly mistaken Joy for Jennifer. Joy鈥檚 mortified. She鈥檚 bought the scarf from a WI stall, not realising it had been Jennifer鈥檚. Brian鈥檚 kind; he鈥檚 just glad to see it being worn. She takes it off, but Susan reassures her 鈥� she shouldn鈥檛 feel bad about it. Later Brian comforts Alice. She was clearly taken by surprise; he assures her Joy understood. They share the history of the scarf. Brian asserts memories are what matter, not the material stuff. And that鈥檚 why he intends to leave Willow Cottage.
