Lilian and Leonie are nursing James back to health at The Dower House when Brenda arrives needing contracts signed. A flustered Lilian snaps at Brenda. She ends a phone call with Paul when Leonie enters the kitchen with more requests from James.

As Lilian is tiding away her son's clothes, she sees more than she bargained for when interrupting James and Leonie in the bathroom. As she hastily retreats, Brenda arrives for the contracts. She questions how Lilian expects to run her business if she is never around. Quite a scene ensues when Leonie and a half-naked James emerge from the bathroom. Leonie chastises Brenda for questioning Lilian's work ethic.

Tom has some good news. The ready meal company are on board with his Christmas hamper idea. However Brenda is not in a good mood after her day at work. She wants to be alone rather than go out with Tom.

Lilian discusses the afternoon's antics with Paul. She feels like a stranger in her own home due to Matt's continual absences and James and Leonie's constant canoodling. Paul suggests they meet up for a coffee.
