Bert is threatening to sue, and Brian feels he鈥檚 being ambushed.
While Adam cooks a Sunday roast, Alice tells him she鈥檚 spoken to Kate, who agrees that Brian鈥檚 break up with Miranda doesn鈥檛 make sense. Adam warns Alice off tackling Brian about the subject over lunch, before Lilian arrives. She鈥檚 soon followed by Brian, but Ruairi can鈥檛 make it. True to Adam鈥檚 word Brian tells them he won鈥檛 talk about Miranda. Alice sounds out Lilian about Brian鈥檚 erratic behaviour recently. Whatever鈥檚 going on, Alice agrees with Kate that it鈥檚 serious. Later, Brian overhears Alice expressing her concerns to Lilian and has a go at them for gossiping about his private life, insisting he can sort things out on his own. Brian slams out and Alice tells the others that, like Kate, she鈥檚 genuinely concerned Brian might be showing signs of dementia.
Wearing a neck brace, Bert moans to Tracy about the pain he鈥檚 in, but she gives him short shrift. He wants to get compensation after the church roof fell in, though Tracy points out he wasn鈥檛 even there. It鈥檚 a scam! Bert complains that no-one鈥檚 offered to do anything for him on the Easter Promises Tree. He鈥檚 determined to pursue his compensation claim from Alan, despite the fact he won鈥檛 be able to produce any evidence or witnesses, as Tracy again points out. Bert threatens to get Susan to help with his claim instead. Later, Tracy admits feeling bad. But Bert鈥檚 changed his mind about pursuing the claim because of what Tracy said, about Alan helping Susan when the shop needed a home. Alan doesn鈥檛 deserve the hassle.
