Lily says the hotel can\u2019t run without him \u2013 at least it won\u2019t be the same. Oliver will have to manage until a replacement can be found. Lily says she finishes her placement next week.

She was looking forward to some time off but agrees to consider it. But first she insists he sign her assessment.
Harrison has a quick word with Chris over coffee. Chris is too busy with Martha to go to nets. George turns up with Harrison\u2019s veg box and reminds Chris about hoof trimming for Bartleby on Friday. They chat about Alice\u2019s not guilty plea and George leaves in a hurry. Harrison admits he has been so angry since Friday. He asks Chris if they can have a chat. It\u2019s awkward as Chris apologises about Fallon\u2019s miscarriage. Harrison grows irritable about Alice\u2019s not guilty plea and Chris would rather talk about anything else.
George chats to a smartened-up Bartleby as Oliver and agrees to take their picture. They talk about what a wrench it will be when Bartleby leaves on Friday. Oliver says Mrs Mellor has already paid.
