Henry gets the wrong end of the stick, and Tony has some advice for Lilian.
Kirsty helps fractious Tom and Henry at Bridge Farm, getting Henry to talk about his difficulties at school. Tom worries he鈥檚 become self-obsessed and boring, getting upset when Kirsty makes light of his concerns. She finds Tom later, who admits having vivid dreams about their stillborn son, Wren, supposing they鈥檇 still be together if he鈥檇 survived. Kirsty disagrees, but gives distressed Tom a hug, which suspicious Henry sees. Kirsty assures Henry she only hugged Tom because he was upset, asking Henry to try and get on better with him.
Having seen round his croft Helen acknowledges that Finlay has a harder time of it as a farmer than her. But Finlay loves it, far preferring his life now, post-divorce, to when he lived in Glasgow. Later, they circle around admitting their feelings for each other, before Finlay鈥檚 called away to his other job, as a firefighter. Rueful Helen watches him go.
Lilian and Tony go on a whisky distillery tour. Tony has loved every minute of their trip, but Lilian isn鈥檛 happy, convinced Leonie鈥檚 avoiding her. She assumes Justin and the others prefer staying in Blackpool to joining them. Tony prompts Lilian to try harder with Leonie, who鈥檚 clearly being neglected by James. Lilian feels she has to make allowances for James, due to her own poor parenting. Tony retorts that Peggy never made allowances for him, to the point he questioned whether she loved him at all. But he just got on with it and did what was best for his family. Lilian should do the same.
