Neil has decided to have it out with Tom. It's Neil's role to call the shots and Tom needs reminding. But Neil is taken aback when a humble Tom preempts him, full of apology for not consulting Neil enough. From now on, says Tom, they're partners. They go to feed the pigs together.

Neil mentions he'd be keen to hear about Tom's time in Canada, before phoning Susan to report back that he's given Tom a firm talking-to.
