Tom gives Tony copious instructions about what needs doing while he and Natasha are away in Scotland on Peggy’s family holiday. At the Dower House Jakob is packing the people carriers with luggage, before Lilian heads to Bridge Farm, where she finds Tony complaining about Tom’s excessive notes. If Tom’s so worried about letting go, Lilian suggests, then he should stay and let Tony go to Scotland instead. As Peggy’s only son Tony should be going anyway, as specified in Peggy’s will. Tony isn’t sure, but Lilian insists she wants to spend some quality time with Tony while they still have the chance. To Tom’s horror Tony agrees to go, explaining it’s not just for Lilian, it’s what Peggy wanted.
Tom and Natasha quickly realise this means one of them will have to stay. Tom thinks it should be Natasha, but she points out she’s organised everything to cover her absence, whereas Tom hasn’t really sorted his side out – and she is not missing out on this holiday! Later, Tony apologises to Tom, before explaining what Tom needs to do for him with the Anguses tomorrow. When Tom complains he won’t have time Tony says then they’ll have to sort things out today.
Back at the Dower House Jakob’s frustrated by the delay - and Justin’s sulking. Lilian phones Tony, who tells them he’ll be another hour. If she wants him to come then they’ll just have to wait. Jakob is all for going without Tony, but Lilian takes an executive decision to delay their departure until tomorrow.
