Lilian makes an unexpected journey.

Tired Lilian gives Peggy a hand with Jack. She knows her mum needs her around at the moment.
Lynda looks over the land Brian has promised to the village. She's keen for it to be used for green burials. Robert thinks that not everyone will like the idea, and that some people might come up with alternatives.

Pat calls on Peggy and suggests that the solution to her shop problem might be for Peggy to rent the shop to the community to run. Peggy is happy for Pat to investigate - she's got nothing to lose.

Matt unexpectedly whisks Lilian off to the airport. He's packed her bags, and booked the flights. Lilian is anxious and confused, especially when he announces he's taking her to Costa Rica. Lilian is very reluctant to go. She knows he's doing a runner. It's a fantasy as far as she's concerned, and she's terrified they'll get caught. She doesn't want to get on the plane. Matt insists he's doing what's right for him. Either she comes with him, or he goes alone.
