Shula and Jim are wrong-footed when they find Lynda’s an attendee at the art project meeting. She, Russ and Jim clash over ideas and Shula and Leonard spend much of the meeting brokering peace. Shula calls the meeting to an early close in despair. They’ll reconvene next week. Shula and Leonard agree afterwards that it was an unfortunate combination of people. Leonard suggests she persevere; something creative might yet come out of it.

Susan is very proud of Chris’s performance at the cricket. Alistair agrees if Chris carries on like this, he could find himself in a permanent role as captain. Susan thinks Clarrie and Eddie should get away for a break. But Clarrie’s lost some money, part of the donation for Nic’s Lent appeal. She’s looked everywhere. The two of them turn the house over, but it’s gone. Clarrie thinks someone might have stolen it.

Over a drink Shula admits to Alistair she feels guilty about the divorce and all she put him through. Alistair’s forgiving. He too is sorry he couldn’t make her happy. Shula feels sometimes as though nothing will. It helps to know he doesn’t hate her though. Alistair assures her he’s far from that, and that what happened was for the best, for both of them.
