Brian scoffs as Jennifer digs out an old table for her séance tonight.

Lilian and Alice blow off the cobwebs from last night with a horse ride. There are several hungover hunt ball revellers today. Lilian admits Justin wasn't the ogre she was expecting. But Alice isn't so sure.
Lilian shares Brian's scepticism about the séance, but tells Alice about a spooky coincidence that Peggy reminded her of. Carol's first husband, Charles, was in a car accident with John Tregorran's first wife, Janet. Charles lost a leg and Janet was killed. The crash happened at Halloween.

Nursing a sore head, Adam is not only worrying about the estate contract but also the prospect of losing the Brookfield one if Ruth and David pack up. He's done some ringing around for contract work, to no avail. Ian's keen on a holiday to Jamaica. But Adam can't go anywhere until he's sorted things with Charlie. And lambing's coming up.

Jennifer takes the séance seriously, preparing delicacies to offer to the spirits. Brian mocks and ends up moving the table to trick people into thinking there's a reaction. He confesses to Jennifer who tells him off for spoiling what might have been.
