Freddie’s still on the lookout for work, and asks Chris if he has any ideas. Chris suggests he comes to nets and tries out for the cricket team. He might make some contacts. Shula asks Chris to be on the art project committee, but he’s too busy.

Shula and Freddie agree the Easter event at Lower Loxley was a success, and it was good to see Elizabeth laughing. But Freddie comments visitors have been fewer ever since. Shula tells Freddie she’ll be going back to church. Alan’s talked some sense into her.

Tom’s late for tea with Peggy, so Peggy takes the opportunity to get to know Natasha better. Hilda scratches Natasha, but Peggy assures her that the cat will get used to her in time. She quizzes Natasha on her previous relationship, before cutting to the chase and asking when she and Tom expect to start a family.

Emma and Will discuss Mia. Will’s noticed she seems to be thawing a bit. He’s grateful for Emma talking to her; she’s able to get through to Mia better than he is. Later Will admits to Mia he got it wrong with Ruairi, and apologises. He announces he’s found her a maths tutor who’ll really help her grades. Mia’s doubtful; the tutor he’s found is really strict. But she thanks Will. She’s sure it will be a big help.
