Lily and Josh discuss Paul\u2019s boyfriend Etienne, who\u2019s asked for an open relationship. Paul\u2019s really down about it. Josh thinks Paul would be better off without dull Etienne and they wonder what they can do to help. They decide that it\u2019s best to keep their distance - Paul only has to ask if he needs any support.

Lilian visits Paul at the Vets to discuss Oliver\u2019s horse Duke, who\u2019s not showing any signs of improvement from his Strangles infection. Lilian notices Paul\u2019s not himself and asks Josh what\u2019s wrong. When Josh says it\u2019s boyfriend trouble, Lilian points out that Paul\u2019s lucky to have Lily and Josh as housemates to shore him up. Later Lily agrees with Josh that it would be better if they reached out to Paul.

George tells Emma that someone called Meg Mellor really took to Bartleby at the County Show on Sunday. He\u2019s invited her over to see Bartleby in his home environment \u2013 there might be a commercial opportunity in it, like sponsorship for Bartleby or buying online advertising around George\u2019s posts. She might even make a charitable donation which would help with vets fees. Emma\u2019s surprised when she discovers Meg\u2019s visiting today. When she arrives early, Emma learns that Meg wants to buy Bartleby. She runs a sanctuary for veteran horses, and she\u2019d really like Bartleby to be a companion pony. Ed thinks they should tell Meg to sling her hook but is stopped in his tracks when he hears how much she\u2019s willing to pay for Bartleby.
