Matt finds all is not lost with Lilian.

Walking Scruff along the footpath that Adam wants to divert, Lynda bumps into Jennifer. Jennifer braves the subject of the footpath. Lynda says Jennifer's missing the point. Land-owners are custodians of our heritage and to divert a footpath is to trample on that common heritage. Lynda will continue her fight, as she did against Cameron Fraser.

Back at the farm, Jennifer wishes Lilian would surface, to go to Peggy's with her. Adam says she's at the Dower House. Jennifer tells Adam about her encounter with Lynda.

Matt eventually rouses with a thick head and makes his way to the kitchen. He's surprised to see Lilian, and seems pleased to learn that she stayed the night. When Lilian reminds Matt of his embarrassing behaviour, he wants to phone Roy to apologise. Matt explains he'd come from Borchester police station, where Russell had told him he might be facing ten years in prison. Lilian's shocked but immediately wants to support Matt. He's grateful to her for last night. He's missed her more than she could imagine. But he can't ask her to stand by him and wait while he's in prison. Lilian says of course she'll go back to him. She loves him.
