Alice is forced to come clean and Lynda wants an honest opinion
Lynda’s trying on wigs. She’s beating herself up about the surprise dinner last week. She feels Robert is obsessing about housework to avoid her. She considers getting Robert’s opinion on the wigs but thinks he won’t be truthful. She calls Lilian for an honest opinion and ends up telling her about the failed romantic evening and her request to Robert to argue with her. Her call with Lilian has improved her mood and Lynda realises she’s had enough of the politeness that her and Robert have fallen into since her injuries. Meanwhile, Lilian hopes Robert will get the message, otherwise Lynda will snap.
Alice is low after telling Brian the wheat and barley mix up was her fault. She’s done a deal with Borchester Land to buy the spoiled grain for pig feed. At the end of the day her hackles rise when she thinks about Chris breaking their no drinking during the week pact. She’s had confirmation from Emma that Chris and Ed did drink beer together. She decides to wait to see if Chris owns up by himself.
