Neil faces a dilemma and Jim defies expectations.

Jim and Fiona take a day trip to the Iron Age site at Heybury. Jim asks Fiona whether her travelling companion, Angie, is a friend or a partner. Fiona says she’s a partner and asks if Jim is ok with that. Why on earth wouldn’t he be? Fiona wishes she’d told him she was gay sooner. All that matters to Jim is that she’s happy.
The Bull is looking particularly empty, and Lilian feels that Lynda and her petition aren't helping. She’s cheered, however, when a young crowd from Felpersham make a big booking for a cocktail night next week. What with that and their Valentine’s event, things are starting to look up.
Neil is convinced he’s for the chop ahead of his meeting with the BL board. At the meeting, Martyn asks Neil his opinion of Hannah’s management skills. Neil offers a diplomatic response. Back at home, Susan distracts him with talk of their upcoming holiday to Lanzarote. Neil braces himself for the worst when Justin tells him the upshot of the meeting. While they’ll be restructuring, Berrow certainly won’t be firing Neil. Instead, they’d like to launch an outdoor breeding unit. Hannah would manage the indoor unit; Neil the outdoor. It would mean a pay cut, but Justin advises Neil to give it some careful consideration.
