Bert doesn鈥檛 want to be alone, and Adam builds support.

Susan tries hurrying Tracy out of 6 The Green, but they have to settle grumpy Bert first. He complains about being neglected, while rejecting all their suggestions of activities to do and places to go. Eventually they leave him with the remote control and head for the Dairy. Outside, in Bridge Farm yard, Susan and Tracy look at second-hand clothes on Natasha鈥檚 phone. Lottie arrives for lunch at the Tearoom and talks approvingly to Natasha about Loxley Barratt School. Natasha later pumps Lottie for more information, as Seren and Nova are down to go there. It鈥檚 all pretty positive.

While making cheese Tracy and Susan gossip about Lottie dating Chris; Chelsea wanting to stay in touch with Den - and Den鈥檚 new wife, Sophe. Susan points out that Tracy waiting hand and foot on Den previously was the same as she鈥檚 doing for Bert now. Later, they find Bert鈥檚 barely moved since they left him. Susan鈥檚 determined she鈥檚 going to get Bert up and active, if it鈥檚 the last thing she does.

Adam has lunch with Ian, happy he hasn鈥檛 seen Brian all morning. He鈥檚 dismayed about Alice appearing to take Brian鈥檚 side yesterday, though Ian can understand why she would after Brian鈥檚 been so supportive of her in the past. Following Ian鈥檚 suggestion of getting Kate to talk Alice round, Adam reports back later that it was only after he pointed out Brian鈥檚 plan for caravan storage next to Spiritual Home that Kate got onboard with him and Debbie. As for Ruairi and Alice though, he鈥檚 still not sure.
