Akram offers a suggestion, and there's a complication at the Rewilding.
Justin waits impatiently for the delivery of Peggy鈥檚 artwork to the Rewilding site. Like Kirsty, he hopes it鈥檒l have a big impact. Kirsty鈥檚 worried the dimensions of the plans they were sent by the artist are wrong, while Justin admits he did change direction several times on the design. When the delivery arrives, with David there too, they agree the small artwork is exquisite, but Kirsty wonders where the rest of it is. Later, Justin admits there鈥檚 been a miscommunication between him and the artist over the work鈥檚 dimensions: what鈥檚 been delivered is all there is. Justin used up most of the budget on multiple design changes. Kirsty is deeply unimpressed 鈥 this is nothing like the large-scale artwork everybody will be expecting to see at Thursday鈥檚 unveiling. Desperate Justin promises to fix it by then.
Susan鈥檚 irked to find Akram has been moving things around while waiting for her at the Dairy. She explains he鈥檒l be observing today before receiving training another time. Akram starts taking notes, but worries he鈥檚 got off on the wrong foot. Susan softens a little, but makes it clear she鈥檚 in charge. On their break Akram and Susan discuss Clarrie being laid off, with Susan admitting she wanted Clarrie back when Adam left. Susan鈥檚 worried about tomorrow鈥檚 tea with George and Amber, hoping to get things back on track after Clive鈥檚 recent intervention. Akram mentions the 鈥渕eal to heal鈥 concept, later explaining this in detail while Susan takes notes. She thinks it sounds perfect, reckoning they鈥檝e both learnt something today.
