He’s spoken to Gavin, who’s contrite and has regretted his behaviour ever since. He’s going to ring Kirsty to apologise properly in due course. Philip assures her that she’s as much a part of his life as Gavin is now.

Later, Jolene and Lilian reveal one of Angus’s most revolutionary suggestions to Kenton, who’s not had time to read the report. They want to change the name of The Bull.
