At the Tearoom, Paul\u2019s surprised to see Fallon looking so well after her drunken night out last week. That is until Fallon explains that she spent most of yesterday in bed at Kirsty\u2019s. But now she feels like a reset button has been pressed and is feeling much better about everything. When Fallon notices Paul looking a bit uncomfortable, he says he\u2019s fine. But later when Kirsty asks him if he\u2019s got fleas or something, he brushes it off as sunburn. Later, Fallon starts to get flashbacks from her night out \u2013 and Kirsty\u2019s forced to remind her of rapping and being thrown out of the club. Although Fallon\u2019s embarrassed, it was also just what she needed, and she now feels she\u2019s drawn a bit of a line. And Harrison seems much happier in himself too. Fallon was dreading her birthday, but now she\u2019s looking forward to it with Harrison.

Justin mentions to Fallon that there\u2019s been no further cases of Strangles at The Stables. Things are still fraught there though with Oliver\u2019s horse still struggling. Justin\u2019s worried about Lilian which is why he\u2019s insisted she take a lunch break. When Lilian talks about how stressed she is, Justin broaches finding a replacement for Alice. Lilian\u2019s defensive, pointing out that alcoholism is a disease. And anyway Alice didn\u2019t do anything wrong, any horse can get Strangles. Justin concedes that they do at least need to look at the practicalities. He\u2019ll compromise by sounding out a few potential replacements on a no obligation basis, just so they\u2019re prepared for the worst. Lilian agrees as long as Justin\u2019s discreet.
