At Grey Gables Shula and Elizabeth relax in the sauna. Elizabeth's finding losing the license easier to cope with than the uncertainty of Freddie's predicament. She briefly forgets her troubles, including Russ' visit tonight and Shula advises her to keep reminding herself that it's a summer romance - Lily will soon be far away in Manchester.

At the pig unit things are still awkward between Neil and Hannah. There's something about him that Hannah doesn't like. And she can't stand Emma and her patronising smiles. She brushes off Tom's suggestion that Emma's just trying to be friendly; she'd rather ignore her. Tom's still feeling the effects of sleep deprivation after Henry's visit. Hannah teases him; he must be getting old.

Russ calls Lily to ask what he should wear to a stately home. He finds the idea intimidating, but Lily points out that it's just a relaxed family supper. Before they go in he admits that he still hasn't told his wife. Lily had told Elizabeth that they were separated, but over the meal it becomes clear to Elizabeth that Russ and his wife are still living together. Lily claims their situation is like Alistair and Shula's. Then Lily reveals that Russ is planning to move to Manchester with her. Elizabeth hides her feelings for long enough to excuse herself, then phones Shula in tears. She's sure this decision will ruin Lily's life.
