Brad and Chelsea are finding interesting material in their library research. Brad’s unearthed a wartime news film, and Chelsea’s come across the mysterious Reg but there’s still not enough clear information to decipher his full name, or his story. Elizabeth’s impressed – the lack of clarity makes it even more intriguing.

Rochelle catches up with Elizabeth at the Bull. She asks after Vince and his mum, and Elizabeth reports Iris is doing well after her operation. Elizabeth wonders how Rochelle’s liking her job. Rochelle’s positive, especially about Freddie. Rex joins them and talk turns to the VE Day event. Rochelle doesn’t believe in marking the occasion – there’s still always war somewhere in the world and it’s a terrible thing. The others take her point. Rochelle and Rex drink to victory at the cricket. Rex wonders how Rochelle squares working at the abattoir with her veganism. Rochelle maintains it’s just a job – after all Rex never queries where he’s taking his taxi passengers, does he? Good argument, concedes Rex. He suggests they could put their recent difficulties behind them, maybe just do something together and see where it goes. Rochelle agrees, but then gets a phone call and has to leave. It’s Saskia, who congratulates her on planting the camera in the lairage. But the camera’s stopped working, and they need footage from further inside the operation. Saskia arranges to give Rochelle another camera on Monday – a direct clash with the meeting Rochelle’s just arranged with Rex. Rochelle breaks the news to him, saying she’ll get back to him about another date.
