There’s a shock for Lilian and Philip is put in a difficult position
Jolene’s impressed to discover that Lynda’s still chained to the pub sign. Lynda’s been in contact with a journalist from The Echo, who wants to interview her. Wouldn’t it be marvellous if the ReBull cause was all over the press?
Ed explains To Kirsty he’s just had a job interview but it was a waste of time. Kirsty wonders if he’d consider building work. She’s worried about how much pressure Philip is under. Ed approaches Philip to see if he’d consider hiring him. Philip assets that right now he needs to keep an eye on the balance sheets, and he can’t see any opportunities coming up in the near future.
Later Philip tells Kirsty that she put him in a difficult position with Ed. He can’t offer Ed a job because of Gavin. He couldn’t risk the awkwardness between them if Gavin were to end up going out with Emma.
Lilian tells Jolene she’s signed her horses up to Jakob’s equine weight loss clinic.
During the night Jolene brings Lynda refreshments, but receives no response. When Jolene senses Lynda’s not moving she panics, and Lilian hurriedly pulls off the layers of blankets. Lynda’s left a dummy in her place! Lilian swears that Lynda won’t be laughing by the time she’s finished with her.
