David is offered a choice, and Freddie attempts to make his mark.

Harrison pops home for lunch and finds Fallon in the middle of domestic chores. She starts to point out to Harrison his share of the jobs, but before an argument can start Harrison receives an email from a Darrington letting agent with property rental options. They鈥檙e all small and expensive. Harrison declares they will just have to be pragmatic as he quotes the advice Alistair gave him.

Freddie calls to question Fallon about her new job. He asks about the recruitment process and Fallon鈥檚 experience, making Fallon feel uneasy. Later at Lower Loxley, Fallon asks Elizabeth if Freddie is okay with Fallon working there. Elizabeth promises to have a word with him. Fallon vents to Elizabeth about the difficulties of her separation. Elizabeth catches Freddie in between online training and asks why he鈥檚 been quizzing Fallon. Freddie reckons Elizabeth could have employed him instead. He confesses he鈥檚 worried that he won鈥檛 inherit Lower Loxley until he鈥檚 100 if he can鈥檛 prove himself capable.

Anna is at Brookfield, venting about Richard鈥檚 memorial service to sympathetic David. She needs somewhere to catch up on her cases but is avoiding the Tearoom after yesterday. David suggests The Orangery to Anna, who鈥檚 grateful for his suggestion.
Harrison arrives at Brookfield to give an update on the sheep attack. David can鈥檛 quite wrap his head around Monty being responsible. Harrison explains one option is that Monty could go home if David and Ruth are prepared to accept a community resolution order.
