Philip reveals his plans for the future and Gavin is keen to make amends for the past.
Gavin’s pleased to be back working after living with Blake, Kenzie and Jordan through lockdown. It was alright for his dad living the life at Beechwood, while he was stuck in a poky flat. He acknowledges he’s over his relationship with Kelly and feels happy to move on. Philip isn’t being too chatty. He’s keenly aware how important their current job is; they need to build the business back up. This year so far has been awful, and a wake-up call for Philip. Once the business is in a good place he wants to get away from Ambridge and have adventures with Kirsty. He can’t wait to get away; Ambridge is claustrophobic. In his head he lays the blame for all his problems on Gavin. He makes lazy mistakes that cost them money.
Gavin feels he’s a disappointment to his dad. He tries to impress him with his work and also buys him lunch. Philip’s not sure if they should have Blake on site but Gavin’s confident no one from Ambridge will find out. Gavin apologises for inadvertently causing the Grey Gables explosion and Philip softens towards him. They agree to look forward from now on.
