Keira and Henry wish Khalil a happy 16th birthday and promise him a treat at the school shop. Keira is looking forward to dancing and celebrating with the boys at the wedding, however she’s less impressed at having to go to school over half term for catch up lessons. Waiting in the shop queue, Henry almost lets slip that he knows about Khalil’s childhood cancer and covers himself, however Khalil isn’t fooled. When Keira arrives, Khalil’s sharp with them both, saying he doesn’t want them to buy him anything. Freddie is annoyed that the ‘Unicorn’ he’s ordered for the wedding has cancelled because of the weather forecast. Elizabeth reminds him that horses don’t like storms. Freddie reveals to his mum that he’d applied to be General Manager of a stately home in dire straits, but the application had not got any further. He’s frustrated that he’ll never get the experience needed to manage Lower Loxley. Elizabeth thinks the struggling hall would have been too much of a challenge, but on a positive note, the trustees have had a shift in attitude towards Freddie. Because of his responsibilities at Casey Meats, he may even be able to take over at Lower Loxley in a year. Later, Vince shares his reservations with Elizabeth. Freddie is doing well but he still has a long way to go. He didn’t ask Elizabeth for help with his stately home application for example – he doesn’t yet have the wisdom to ask for advice when he needs it.
