It's a long way home for Lilian.
Matt and Lilian sadly part company as Lilian heads to the airport. She calls Jennifer before she boards, tearfully reporting that she's coming home alone. However, once she's on the plane, Matt joins her. He tells her that there was no point in facing life without her so instead he'll go home and face the music. Delighted Lilian calls Russell and tells him to let Jennifer know. She and Matt are coming home together. They should be back in time for the hearing tomorrow...
Adam reports that the planning meeting went well, so he can start looking for quotes on polytunnels. Meanwhile, Lynda reports that the editor of Borsetshire Life secured an exclusive with Lee Mason, rather than print the photos from Grey Gables. Lynda is delighted that she and Robert are to play host to Robert's daughter Coriander and new baby Oscar when Justin goes to work in the States for a few weeks.
Later, Jennifer is relieved to hear that Lilian is coming home. Russell talks to Brian, saying that there's still a long way for Matt to travel before he lands in the UK...and plenty of time for him to change his mind.
