Alone in the bird hide, Robert is pleased to have found Edmund to be fraudulent in his birdwatching claims. He resists calling Lynda to see how she is and wonders what the surprise is that she is setting up at home. Meanwhile, Lynda’s preparing a meal for her and Robert – she wants it to be a special evening – but she worries about how she looks. She’s glad she’s got over her back trouble from last week, to which Monty was the only witness.
Emma’s still not heard anything from Fallon about her job, but seeing Lynda has put things in perspective. Emma told her she looked beautiful when she dropped off some cake for her surprise supper. Emma’s impressed with Lynda’s recovery and the effort she and Robert make for one another. She’s inspired to make time for her and Ed as everyday life has got in the way of their reunion and brought their honeymoon period to an end.
Robert loves Lynda’s surprise and puts any quietness on Lynda’s part down to tiredness. Anyway he’s happy to sit in silence with Lynda knowing that she is happy. But while fetching the dessert, Lynda worries the evening is not going well. She feels silly, shy and out of conversation. She assures herself everything will be fine once they are upstairs – their bodies can do the talking. She decides to return to the table and kiss Robert; surely everything will then fall into place.
