Jill faces a blast from the past and will Alistair swallow his pride?

Anisha says a final goodbye to Rex. He apologises again, but she's keen not to end things on a sour note. Rex deserves someone special - hopefully the next person he meets will appreciate what they have.

Shula grumpily informs Alistair that he woke her up when he arrived home in the early morning. She assumes he was with Lavinia, and ignores his sincere denials. He wants to confess what he was really doing, but Shula declares that she isn't interested. Later, Anisha arrives to collect her horse, Missy. She chats to Shula, while she waits for Alistair to say goodbye, but eventually gives up and starts the long journey to Newmarket without seeing him. Alistair presents Shula with a bill for his last three months of veterinary work, making a point about his contribution to the stables over the years. Shula coolly promises to pay straight away.

Toby spends the day showing Rosie around the garden, and Jill invites him in for tea and biscuits. He's touched when Jill mentions he'd be welcome at the family's birthday celebrations for Kenton and Shula. They're joined by Rex, and Toby offers to lend him Rosie to attract the ladies. Jill gently suggests that Toby gives Rex's heart time to heal. Then Toby gets a phone call - their father, Robin, is coming to stay.
