Alistair has no work for Darrell but suggests he asks Matt if he has any going on the Amside project.

Alistair calls round to give Tony and Pat an update on the Animal Health recommendations. One inconclusive test in an otherwise healthy herd should not restrict the movement. Cautious Pat agrees to the herd sale. Tony is hopeful Rodways can arrange the sale for the last weekend in June.

Paul is working in Cambridge from tomorrow but working from home on Friday. Lilian thinks being occupied will be the best thing for him but will call every evening.

Matt overhears Lilian rearranging her diary. Thinking on the spot, she explains she just fancied seeing James on Friday. Matt is suspicious. With the atmosphere tense, he goes outside to practice his golf.

Darrell finds Matt is in no mood to chat but Darrell ploughs ahead, asking him for work. Darrell thinks his boss, Paul, from the job at Fawcett Magna would give him a good reference. He explains that Lilian also saw his work when she popped in to see Paul. The penny drops for Matt. Paul, of course.

Lilian senses his mood, and asks Matt if he's ok.
