Hayley is a bit snappy with Mike, who'd only popped round to ask about tidying up Roy and Hayley's garden. Potential buyers will be looking around his and Vicky's place, so he wants to make the whole area look neat. Apologizing, Hayley is grateful for the smart job he makes of it.
Caroline asks Elizabeth what's happened with Roy. It's odd that he's left his job. And he'd normally be in charge of the hunt ball. Elizabeth tries to convince Caroline that it was mutual and Roy needed a new challenge.
Mike can't understand why Roy left a secure job. He suggests Roy has a word with Elizabeth. Caroline is slightly embarrassed to offer Roy a temporary receptionist job, to cover some suddenly early maternity leave. It's way below his level but he accepts it without fuss.
Mike is optimistic following a visit from the potential buyer for his business. Ed did a good job showing off the herd. Fingers crossed.
Roy confronts Elizabeth over his employment rights. She'll have to come up with a substantial settlement package or he'll take her to a tribunal.
Freddie and Phoebe meet up and Freddie tells her all about Hayley and Roy. Phoebe doesn't believe it, but Freddie's vehemence convinces her. And he believes that the affair is still going on.
