While doing some gardening at the Dower House Lilian and Justin agree it was a clever plan of Peggy’s to get Natasha and Fallon working together for her funeral. They were at Harrison’s party last night too, which was a great success, despite his absence. Lilian then gets a message from Christine at the Laurels: they want to talk to her about Peggy. Intrigued, Justin goes with Lilian, joking that they’re about to find out what Peggy did with her money. A regular visitor to The Laurels, Arthur, introduces himself as a good friend of Peggy’s. He tells Lilian that the charity where he volunteers, a local dementia support network, is very grateful for Peggy’s generous donation. Arthur suffers from dementia himself, although it isn’t obvious, and impresses Justin with his Savile Row background. Justin and Lilian agree, he’s an inspiring example and that Peggy made absolutely the right decision. And of course Arthur should come to Peggy’s funeral.

Ruth asks Ben to tidy up the Events Barn – Fallon will be setting up there from tomorrow to serve teas on Sunday. Ruth then asks Ben what he knows about catastrophising. She thinks it’s what David’s doing about Sunday - only she knows David would hate her even mentioning it. Later, David finds Ben and asks him to put everything back that he’s just cleared out of the Barn. Ben broaches the subject of how David’s feeling, but David shuts down the conversation. Later though he tells Ben he appreciates his support, but actually he’s okay now and excited about Sunday. They’re both really glad it wasn’t cancelled.
