Then Joy turns up, dismayed to find the stock room full and boxes all over the place.

Susan鈥檚 convinced everything鈥檚 going to be fine now.
When Justin tells Lilian he鈥檚 changed his mind about going on a months-long cruise she replies that it鈥檚 too late, she鈥檚 committed to staying in Ambridge, looking out for Alice, Tony, the Stables and The Bull. Lilian wonders why Justin鈥檚 made a U-turn. He can鈥檛 exactly say why, but the meeting with Arthur has prompted thoughts about looking after one another as they get older. Justin fancies doing some good in the world, taking Arthur as his example. They go to see Kirsty at the Rewilding, wanting to talk about the art installation Peggy鈥檚 donation will be funding. They鈥檙e looking for something to attract more visitors, but not too many. While visiting the pond Lilian recalls a childhood game and pushes Justin in. Luckily he sees the funny side and ends up laughing with Lilian and Kirsty, imagining Peggy looking down and laughing too.
