Alan is delighted to see Carol much improved and sitting out of bed. He updates her on the lack of progress in fundraising for the church bell repair and she tells him she’s managed a few steps with the physio. Carol agrees that she was a little hard on Anna, so Alan suggests sending a bouquet of flowers, which he orders on his phone. Carol is pleased to get the chance to practice her online banking, and with Alan’s help initially, she manages a transfer to his account. Feeling more optimistic about a stay at The Laurels, Carol teases Alan for smirking at her change of heart.

Kenton surprises Lily who is relaxing in her car on a break at Grey Gables. He believes Harrison and she were having an affair which ended his marriage to Fallon, and that Lily will get hurt. Offended, Lily says he’s wrong. She questions what right Kenton has to interfere. Saying he didn’t mean to upset her, Kenton leaves.

Harrison calls in unannounced at Woodbine, to Fallon’s frustration. He’s surprised to find his belongings packed in the hallway, to which Fallon responds that he can put them in the car to take to the Stables to be with Lily. Harrison has no intention of moving in with Lily. He’s been staying, uncomfortably, on Chris’s airbed. He doesn’t want to stay with friends and can’t afford to rent on top of the Woodbine costs. He realises that the only option is to stay in the house he owns, and he’s moving back in – today.
