Harrison and Fallon struggle to divide household chores between them as Harrison says it’s not his turn to cook, whilst Fallon insists it’s not her turn to go to the shop. Both argue they’re busy with their new jobs. Elizabeth is giving Fallon a tour of the gallery at Lower Loxley when Freddie comes to ask if Elizabeth is free. Not realising Elizabeth is in a meeting with Fallon, Freddie says she’s able to have lunch with him. Elizabeth explains that Fallon is the new Programme Manager and she’s busy. When Freddie says he didn’t know about the role, Elizabeth suggests that Freddie must have not been listening. Later in the Orangery, Freddie asks his mum about Fallon’s new role, but Elizabeth leaves him to greet a client. Lynda and Robert talk about the fete whilst gardening when Harrison arrives asking to have a word. The DNA confirms it was Monty who attacked the Brookfield sheep. Robert and Lynda become defensive, pointing out Monty has never done anything of the sort before. When asked for their whereabouts on the day of the attack, they’re able to recount their own and Monty’s actions. Their B & B guests from that day saw nothing out of place either. Lynda says it must be mistaken identity. Harrison explains Monty will be taken into police kennels today. Robert collects toys and treats whilst Lynda becomes emotional. Harrison suggests they say goodbye, and Robert insists they must stay calm for Monty. Lynda’s quietly distraught.
