Pat is on a mission, and Clarrie attempts to keep the peace.

Pat's worried about Olwen. Clarrie recalls when Ed went missing, and advises Pat to prepare herself for the fact that Olwen might not want to be found. She also asks Harrison's advice, and he suggests that, if Pat really is concerned she should report Olwen as a missing person.

Fallon teases Harrison about his obsession with financial planning. She doesn't want to think about boring things like pensions when she could be imagining something more extravagant. Harrison reassures her that he can do both, and splashes out on an expensive bottle of wine and steak for dinner. But Fallon understands that he isn't really thinking about money - he wants them to have a secure future. 

At Grange Farm Emma is rushed off her feet. Clarrie encourages her to take a break, and Emma admits that she's still worried about Will blaming her for driving Jake away. Emma believes that staying with Andrew is best for Jake right now, but Clarrie is concerned about the effect it's having on Will.

Dan's still trying to understand why his parents' marriage has ended and Shula struggles to articulate why. Dan tries to persuade her that she doesn't have to go through with it. But Shula is adamant - this is the right decision. It has to be.
