There’s romance on the cards for the Grundys, and George finds himself on the spot.

George calls on Fallon, seemingly keen to go through some singing exercises. But when Harrison appears at the door over Fallon’s shoulder, George’s enthusiasm wanes. Worse, once George is in the house, Harrison volunteers to join in the exercises with them. And when Fallon has to take a call, Harrison insists on taking over, giving horrified George facial muscle moves and tongue twisters to try. George maintains it’s pointless; he’ll be rubbish no matter how many exercises he does. Ignoring Harrison’s ‘fake it ’til you make it’ advice, George announces he has to go. Before he does, Harrison asks him to keep an eye out for any strange activities after recent incidents in the village. Uncomfortable George says he will. He refuses Harrison’s offer of a lift home, preferring to walk.
Meanwhile Emma and Ed are out sporting head torches as they embark on an illegal logging venture on rewilding land. Ed squares their crime by claiming they’re just tidying up. Nervous Emma reminds him to keep his gloves on at all times. As they roll the last of the heavy logs and congratulate themselves on progress, they have a break before moving on to the smaller ones. They chat and snuggle in the romantic evening moonlight. They begin to kiss and soon the logs are forgotten. Later as they stack the final logs they agree that they’d be happy to do this every night of the week.
