Freddie, Ruairi and Noluthando catch up on gossip from Freddie’s DJing night at The Bull. When Noluthando asks whether Freddie’s heard from Mina, he says they’ve messaged a bit and then hurries off. Later Freddie admits to Noluthando that he didn’t get Mina’s number. She was nice but he didn’t fancy her. Noluthando apologises for being so pushy. Justin asks to meet up with Ruairi and probes him on whether he has inside information on Julianne’s latest acquisition. When Ruairi says he doesn’t, Justin alludes to Ruairi’s ‘special business relationship’ with Julianne. Ruairi then remembers that Julianne was pleased Bill was chair of the board because not everyone voted for Julianne’s bid. There was someone in particular who thought Julianne wasn’t offering enough. Justin says that exactly the sort of information that could turn out to be useful. He’s already forgotten about Ruairi and Julianne’s ‘business relationship'. Will visits Brian and when Brian mentions he hasn’t any plans for the day, Will tells him the maps on his phone is broken. He asks if he could borrow Brian and his phone to help navigate his deliveries. As they drive round delivering veg boxes, Brian says it’s clear that Will knows the roads like the back of his hand. Will pauses and tells him that it’s nearly five years since Nic died. Will hasn’t always coped very well, and he sometimes felt like he was on his own. But the anniversary reminds him that he’s survived. Will knows it’ll be tough for Brian without Jennifer but says there’s no shame in asking for help.
