Caitlin bumps into Lynda on a walk and explains about her mix up with the veg boxes and the trouble she caused. Lynda urges her not to blame herself. They’re interrupted by some loud popping coming from Natasha’s Summer Orchard unit. Some bottles have exploded due to a broken fridge. Caitlin says it was good she was passing, and Tom apologises about the veg boxes. When he goes Natasha tells Caitlin how grateful she is to her for everything – especially missing her wedding anniversary to help her. Natasha admits to feeling like an outsider in Tom’s family, promising to bring the babies up to see Caitlin and her dad as soon as she can. Lilian and Shula discuss Justin’s course modifications. He was supposed to be developing the Stables, not sabotaging it. Lilian surprised Shula’s being so calm about it. Shula admits the possibility of becoming a pioneer for an inner-city parish in the north is on her mind. They want someone by September, but she’s needed at the Stables. Lilian says she’ll have a think about who might be a possible replacement. Lynda and Lilian chat about how Adil saved the day with Ruby and supported Justin. They joke about how they’d misjudged Adil. Lynda admits it’s because she felt loyal to her former colleagues at Grey Gables. Lilian knows it was a dreadful shock. They both agree they were wrong about Adil. In fact Lynda’s wondering whether the summer fete might not be the perfect vehicle for Adil’s many talents.
