Leonard’s been persuaded to consider joining the church art project committee. He’s reluctant. Jill assures him he has a good eye. He accompanies Jill who’s putting flowers from her garden on Phil’s grave. She and Leonard admit to still talking to and dreaming about their respective spouses. They leave the churchyard hand in hand.

Natasha checks Tom’s still ok with her having had lunch with her ex. Of course, replies Tom. Natasha has a chat with Emma in the Tearoom. They discuss the remembered horrors of being a teenager, and village life. Emma agrees it must be a bit weird for Natasha suddenly being related to half the people she meets. She points out how lucky she and Ed are; they think the same way about most things. That’s so important in a marriage. Natasha agrees. She’s surprised to learn that Susan sometimes hears what’s going on in the flat. Ed arrives with a welcome wad of cash for Emma.

When she gets home Tom fills Natasha in on invitations to lunch and tea at his mum’s and The Lodge. Flustered Natasha agrees to both.
