Brian has asked Alice to take over running the Home Farm office while Adam is out of action but Alice is not keen. Chris thinks it’s a good idea but she’s annoyed with him for encouraging her to volunteer for the Flower and Produce committee. Alice moves some bottles of alcohol out of the house to an old shed. She sees it as a way of helping Chris because he can’t handle temptation whereas she can take control. When she goes to turn down the Home Farm work over text, Alice sees Brian has already messaged to say Home Farm needs her and she has to accept the job. Fallon has an email and then a visit from Natasha. Fallon’s got two weeks to come up with a plan to improve the Tearoom business. Fallon thinks that’s unrealistic but really has no other option. She doesn’t tell Emma as she doesn’t want to burden her with these problems. Chris prepares for a shoeing customer, Mrs Parkinson, he hopes by doing a good job it will off-set the negative things Thandi has been spreading about his work. Chris gets a call from Alice but instead of clearing the air after their row last night, tension between them remains. Alice insists she was only drinking tonic water and she tells Chris he’s boring.
