Oliver attempts to be supportive and Tom has an awkward encounter
It’s the day of Natasha’s visit to Bridge Farm, and Hannah notices that Tom’s wearing a new shirt. He immediately worries that it’s too posh for a walk around the farm. Hannah advises him to relax and stop trying so hard. Natasha gives Tom some useful advice, and he agrees to consider offering fruit juice in the veg boxes. She could supply him while he builds a market and establishes his own brand. She’s confident he’ll make a success of his new venture.
Later, Tom tells Hannah that he thinks Natasha might be into him. Unfortunately, he did nothing about it. Hannah can’t understand why, so Tom explains he wanted to talk to her first. If things are going to progress with Natasha he can’t keep sleeping with Hannah. He’s worried she’ll be upset, but Hannah laughs. She totally understands.
Oliver tries to give Elizabeth some feedback on the events Grey Gables took over from Lower Loxley. There were a few communication glitches, but they coped. Unfortunately, Elizabeth attention is on finding a lawyer to appeal Freddie’s sentence. Oliver is sympathetic – hopefully Freddie will find the strength to cope with the tough prison environment. Organising an appeal is the only thing keeping Elizabeth going.
