Fallon is going through her event plans for Lower Loxley with an impressed Elizabeth. They talk about plans for a Winter Fayre and Fallon admits she’s been grateful to have something to focus on. Over in the gallery, Fallon talks about the music programme they could run, when Lily comes in bearing goodies from Grey Gables. Elizabeth suggests that Fallon goes through her pitch with Lily, both of them a little embarrassed by their own actions this week. Fallon confesses to Lily that her failed match making was because Conrad liked her. Lily asks if Fallon was tempted, but Fallon insists it’s far too soon. She questions if she needs to tell Harrison to an awkward Lily.

Keira turns up at the Maliks’ house to make up with Khalil. She says Henry is going to the cinema and more importantly wants them talking. Keira says she’s brought homemade brownies but Khalil confesses he’s now vegan. Khalil updates Keira on how Lynda and Robert are doing without Monty, Keira asks how Khalil is doing. She doubts his new vegan diet will last long as he’d have to work hard at it. Khalil caves quickly and tucks into the brownie peace offering. They disagree over Khalil’s poor view of high intensity farming as a profession. Keira reminds him that she’s from a caring farming family and that it’s possible to care about the planet and still enjoy meat. He wants to support the Snells, who have been getting a lot of online criticism. Keira asks if they’re still mates, Khalil confirms they definitely are.
