Cancellations are coming through for Robert and Lynda. With fallout from the online comments continuing, they debate whether they should ask their regular guests why they are now cancelling. Lynda questions if she wants to run the B&B anymore. All the cooked breakfasts and the sheer constant presentation involved are tiring, plus dealing with the tricky guests they sometimes get. She feels jealous of people who can go on long holidays, like Jim has. Robert reminds her they need the B&B money to supplement their income, before wondering how much Lynda’s funk or malaise has to do with the loss of Monty.

David swings by The Bull to return Jolene’s lost rosette for her winning smoothie entry. They chat about the Flower and Produce show, plus how Harrison has moved in. Later, Lily arrives to meet Paul and decides to grab a drink. Whilst she’s waiting, Harrison gets back from work. Lily complains that Paul is supposed to be deciding if they want to have a couple of chairs The Bull is throwing out, but he’s not replying to her messages. Harrison points out Paul being unreliable previously, when he didn’t turn up to the tango dance class. Harrison then volunteers to help carry the chairs back to The Stables in Paul’s absence.

Back in the kitchen at The Stables, Lily asks Harrison what he thinks of the chairs in their new home. It becomes clear that Paul forgot. Lily rants a little about her housemates before offering Harrison a cocktail. Lily says she would like him to stay.
