There are some birthday surprises for Alice.

There are some birthday surprises for Alice, and Peggy proves to be very persuasive.

It's Alice's birthday. She loves the candleholder Chris has made, but is disappointed that her parents have bought her expensive clothes. They enjoy a lovely day, and discuss further ways to save money.

Peggy tells Elona about Lilian's offer of 3, The Green, explaining that Lilian is aware, in confidence, of Darrell's criminal record. Peggy suggests that Darrell could help with maintenance jobs around the house for her, and then she could recommend him to her friends. Elona grows enthusiastic and hopes that Darrell will say yes. 

Elona tells Peggy that she would like to take up her offer of the tenancy and Darrell will gladly undertake any maintenance jobs. Peggy is delighted.

Nic drops the children off with Andrew. She tells Will that he was off with her when she asked if there was anything going on that she needed to know about. Will thinks that Andrew reacted unfairly. Nic doesn't want to talk about it. 

Pat and Tony receive a hefty bill for their latest consignment of fuel oil. They can't cover their mortgage and the fuel oil, as well as Underwood's product withdrawal charge. Pat goes through the accounts again and is in despair.
