Philip hatches a plan and David attempts to bluff his way out of trouble

David’s keen to know when Vince’s Borchester abattoir will re-open but the refurb isn’t complete yet. Meanwhile, Vince pushes David for a discount on the rebooking of his daughter’s wedding at Brookfield. David makes an offer and insists he can’t go any lower. Vince teases David about the coins that have been found on Brookfield land.
Kirsty’s researching gambling addiction support for Gavin. Philip tries to insist that he’s handling it but Kirsty won’t be brushed off. Kirsty’s angry Philip didn’t speak to her sooner and tells him she knew he’d been keeping secrets from her. But the truth is out now and she still wants to marry him. Alistair volunteers to help her and Philip understand what Gavin is going through. Alistair describes what it was like living a lie and he offers to be Gavin’s unofficial sponsor.
Gavin’s not keen to keep up the pretence of his gambling addiction with Alistair. But Philip insists. He hopes it could actually help them out of the mess they’re in. Gavin doesn’t follow. Philip hasn’t got the details yet but is sure that if Gavin seeks help for gambling it could be a new beginning for them all.
