Joe considers expanding the business.

Elizabeth and Nigel agree to put Lynda's bed and breakfast on their accommodation list as it's going to be an environmentally-friendly business. Lynda's even going as far as using feng-shui in the rooms.

Joe has a proposition for the Pargetters and takes Nigel outside to show him Bartleby and his trap, bedecked with ribbons. He then offers his services for Nigel's green weddings. Nigel points out that if Joe's services were part of the Lower Loxley package there would be certain implications including things like tax and insurance. Joe decides against it and heads off for some cheese samples from Oliver's tasting at Grey Gables. After he's gone, Nigel tells Elizabeth that he was diplomatic and didn't mention that they already had a supplier for horse drawn carriages.

While Brian tends to weak Siobhan's needs, Siobhan discusses Ruairi's favourite toys and films with him. When Siobhan tells Brian she's putting together a memory box for Ruairi, Brian says he'll make sure Ruairi never forgets her. Tim Hathaway's going to visit tomorrow, so Brian diplomatically agrees to take Ruairi out for the day. And anyway, he wouldn't miss a day out with his boy - just try and stop him!
