Kirsty joins Joy and Lynda as Joy attempts to steer the Fete planning meeting. First item, says Lynda, is the clash with the Stables event. Kirsty describes how downcast Lilian is. When Joy suggests they try to help, to make both events a success, Lynda says it\u2019s not possible and tries to close the conversation down. But Joy holds her own and thinks of a solution, reminding Lynda who\u2019s in charge. Joy suggests Kirsty talks with Lilian about an idea to provide a Brewer\u2019s Dray style shuttle service between the two events . With Lynda not wanting to be involved, Joy offers her litter duties for the Fete. \n \nLilian and Kirsty speculate on what Ed has planned for Emma\u2019s 40th and Lilian is keen for Kirsty to help her with Cantering On. But Kirsty is committed to the Fete. Lilian despairs. However, with Carlotta on board and future bookings looking healthy, Justin is more positive. Alice surprises Lilian at the Stables by turning up, back from rehab and ready to get back to work this week. Alice senses some doubt from Lilian and Justin sensitively suggests a phased return. Privately, Justin expresses that Alice working there will be disastrous for the Stables, and Lilian berates him for being cruel and not being genuine with his phased return suggestion. It\u2019s clear that Justin\u2019s strategy is to persuade Alice to quit. But Lilian sticks to her guns \u2013 they have no grounds to sack Alice, and she won\u2019t let Alice be forced out. She\u2019s coming back to work, with or without Justin\u2019s approval.
