Lynda complains to Robert about the state of the cricket pavilion and general facilities inside. The team needs proper leadership. At Grey Gables, Lynda notices what a glow Brian has about him. Robert’s there for the watercolour class, but Oliver encourages Lynda to join in as well, and she turns out to be star pupil - unlike frustrated Robert who’s ready to give up. Lynda suggests that Robert may see a hare tomorrow at the rewilding site, and he could paint that.

George fills Oliver in on his latest research into Bartleby’s age and admits Robert set him on his quest. He’s keen to make Bartleby, and himself, social media famous and rich! George has made contact with a woman at Overton Farm who gave him some details about Bartleby’s history, including being stolen by thieves.

Over lunch, Miranda’s delighted that Brian decided to rearrange - what made him change his mind? Brian shares that it was his daughters. Miranda’s glad, as Brian admits he worried how Alice and Kate would feel about it. They enjoy a bottle of wine and some gossip about Justin, with Brian trying to extract more juice. Miranda tells him about when they first met – she has had to bail Justin out financially more than once. When Miranda learns that Justin will be at the Grey Gables ball on Friday, she’s tempted to come along with Brian as his date. But for now, how about they continue things at her place? Brian realises what she means and politely makes his excuses – but the door isn’t closed on meeting up again.
