Mick helps Kirsty as a volunteer at the Rewilding for Primrose Day, and happily informs Kirsty he got the security job at Grey Gables. There\u2019s loads to sort today with school workshops, and they\u2019re joined by Lord Mayor Ruby Cosse. Sadly, there aren\u2019t many primroses left in their desired spot so Mick sets to work on a new path and signage. Kirsty becomes fraught as a series of issues crop up, including the Mayor\u2019s dietary requirements - the gift cake Kirsty prepared won\u2019t be suitable. Mick hot-foots it to Bridge Farm to find something gluten-free, and mucks in to save the day. Kirsty\u2019s so grateful she gives him the cake, which he looks forward to sharing with Joy \u2013 and Mick asks Kirsty to not let on to Joy the good news about his new job. It\u2019ll be a surprise.

Lilian admits to Alice she\u2019s treading on eggshells since she and Kate interfered in their concern about Alice. Alice knows that Lilian and Kate just care. But when Alice phones Harry to check in on him, as promised, she\u2019s dismayed to discover he\u2019s been drinking. Heading straight over to help him, Alice asks Lilian to fetch Martha, lying about having a meeting with Stables\u2019 clients. Lilian can\u2019t help, so Alice eventually asks Kate. As Alice deals with Harry, Lilian phones to say she\u2019s free after all. As Harry makes noises in the background, Alice makes excuses and ends the call. Afterwards, unaware Harry thanks Alice for being his lifeline, but she feels she\u2019s being dragged into a pit and can\u2019t do this anymore.
