Emma and Ed are irritable after a long day working on trees at Grey Gables. It’s their anniversary but Emma can’t be bothered to do anything special. However Oliver surprises them with the offer of an overnight stay at the hotel with spa passes and dinner, as an anniversary gift. They accept graciously, but over dinner they continue to bicker as Emma can’t let Ed’s attitude to her work go. His constant instructions to her from the ground today weren’t welcome or helpful. Oliver checks in to make sure they’re having a great evening. They assure him they are. They realise they shouldn’t be arguing – it’s the tiredness talking. Emma suggests they skip dinner and have an early night.

Helen wonders to Ian how Adam’s doing. Ian thinks he’s ok but sad. Helen reports much the same from her side of the family, particularly Lilian. They speculate on possible explanations as to where Peggy’s money’s gone; Ian jokes she probably invested in a donkey sanctuary. He’s looking forward to the big family holiday though. He’s impressed with Helen’s adept brushing off of Martyn Gibson’s advances. Helen admits someone else has caught her eye. Ian’s flabbergasted to learn it’s Dane from Grey Gables. He comments Dane’s nice enough but always ‘on’ and cracking jokes. Helen ventures that this could be a good thing. Ian agrees; he’s sure they’ll have a great time. Helen admits she’s nervous, putting herself back out there. Ian assures her everyone feels this way. He stays positive for her, and Helen thanks him for the chat.
