Kenton is left surprised, and there鈥檚 trouble at Grey Gables.

With things still frosty between Ed and Emma, they鈥檙e horrified when they get stuck in the Grey Gables lift. They manage to alert Zainab, but it鈥檚 her first day and she鈥檚 still feeling her way. Emma suggests she calls an engineer, and Zainab assures them she鈥檚 on it. Akram arrives and sees Zainab鈥檚 predicament. He also points out she鈥檚 done everything right so far and doesn鈥檛 need to stress. Meanwhile the atmosphere in the lift thaws and Emma and Ed apologise to one another. They admit it can be hard working together but it鈥檚 mostly brilliant. They pledge to move their anniversary celebration to tonight, staying in at Little Grange. When they鈥檙e finally free, relieved Zainab tells them Dane鈥檚 offered another night at Grey Gables by way of compensation. Ed reckons they鈥檒l stay home tonight and save the offer for another time.

Naomi brings some flowers as a thankyou for Lilian, who鈥檚 tearful and caught unawares. She shares that she鈥檚 having a difficult time, and the two chat. Naomi鈥檚 kicking herself about her date, but Lilian assures her it鈥檚 not her fault. They laugh about the objectionable Darren. Naomi hopes things get brighter for Lilian. Later worried Kenton calls in on Lilian. Lilian comments it was nice to chat with Naomi, but nothing鈥檚 making her feel better. She guesses you just have to go with grief, but it鈥檚 exhausting. Her heart is broken at the loss, and she has nothing to tether her any more. Ambridge doesn鈥檛 feel like home without Peggy. Perhaps it鈥檚 time to leave.
