Shula is left disappointed, and Will finds himself overwhelmed.

Oliver encourages Will to hold on and hope for the future, however hard it is to imagine happiness again right now. Oliver gives Will his £1000 bequest from Caroline, reminding Will to pay the cheque in. Alan asks Will about funeral arrangements. It'll be a green burial. Will doesn't want the kids there. Alan tentatively encourages Will to reconsider.

Emma puts her foot in it by mentioning Mothers' Day in relation to George. Will's overwhelmed at the prospect of organising Nic's funeral, but starts to thaw regarding the kids, although he's adamant that Poppy's too young. Emma tells Will to think about it, and also tentatively offers to arrange the funeral. Will snaps at Emma, reminding her she's not his wife. Emma gets upset thinking of how things ended between her and Nic, and begs Will to let her help. 

Alistair chats to Shula about Sports Relief. Several people including members of the cricket team are taking part, with a step counting app. Oliver drops in to give Shula Caroline's bequest, reminding her to spend it on herself. 

Shula feels adventurous and suggests to Alistair that they take an extended work break to volunteer at an overseas project, providing equine therapy for disadvantaged kids. Alistair's not keen and disappoints Shula, missing the point when he suggests she could go on her own. Shula rides off on her horse - in no hurry to return, as clearly Alistair won't mind!
