George is back at Meadow Farm watching his grandpa work. Eddie’s surprised George missed the opportunity to criticise at early morning milking. George shows Eddie a picture of a supercar he’s been reading about online and laments that he’ll never own one. Amber arrives to drop off George’s forgotten house keys. Eddie suggests that George could work for Amber’s dad at the car showroom for a few weeks while his wrist heals. Amber reckons George would hate it, but George disagrees and see the advantages of the idea. Amber’s not sure, but with a little more persuasion she’s won round and agrees to give her dad a call. On a busy morning for breakfasts Lynda and Robert deal patiently with a particularly demanding couple, who complain the breakfast is too hot and the coffee tastes odd. Lynda admits she’s tired, but they have guests to please before she can rest. Robert agrees and they knuckle down. However Robert’s limits are tested when one of the tricky guests raises the subject of Monty, branding him a dangerous dog and taking the situation out of context. Robert protests but to no avail, and the guest ploughs on regardless. Robert worries that Lynda will overhear the upsetting claims, and asks the guest to keep her voice down. However Lynda’s calm when she approaches, despatching Robert back to the kitchen. Diane the guest accuses Lynda of being in denial, and unable to control a fully-grown Dobermann. Lynda closes the conversation down before asking Diane and her husband to leave the premises immediately.
