Tracy admits to Jolene they haven’t put the heating on at No. 6 The Green yet. A bonus of working at The Bull is that she stays warm through the evening. Jolene reports this to Kenton and shares how awful she thinks it is. She suggests they open the pub to anyone, even if they don’t want to buy food or drink. Kenton thinks it’s madness; their own bills are already high. Jolene begs for them to give it a go and Kenton relents, adding “don’t say I didn’t warn you”. When Kenton and Jolene share their Winter Warmer idea with Tracy, she tells them Fallon’s had the same idea for the Tearoom. Kenton thinks this means they can cancel their scheme but Jolene isn’t backing down – by both venues doing it they can help more people. After attending to Rex’s pigs with Alistair, Paul gets chatting to Elizabeth about the Hunt Ball. Paul says he hardly saw Ruairi because he was so busy pitching in with the organising. Elizabeth is sorry for ruining their evening by depending on Ruairi so much. Elizabeth encourages Paul to see Ruairi again before he goes back to London. Later, Paul asks Alistair his opinion of Ruairi. Alistair says he doesn’t really know him. Paul opens up about looking for a connection with someone rather than casual hook-ups. He then asks Alistair about his love life. Alistair replies that it’s a bit complicated. While it isn’t advice that he’s always lived by, Alistair thinks Paul should go for it with Ruairi.
