Elizabeth's hopes are raised and Brian waves the white flag

Lynda’s decided that the village hall has the wrong ambience for her Christmas production. She asks to use Brookfield’s barn. David can’t think of a reason to say no although he puts his foot down at the idea of flaming torches near the fuel store. He’ll have to check with Ruth, perhaps she can think of an objection. Lynda wants to cast Ruth as Chaucer her accent is perfect for Lynda’s vision.

Brian apologises to Adam. Adam’s done an amazing job taking over the farm, and Brian admits he hasn’t made it easy. He plans to be supportive from now on. Adam thanks him, he really appreciates the offer. It’s a new start for everyone. 

Anna can’t give Elizabeth the news she was hoping for. She can find no grounds for appeal. Elizabeth protests that the Judge didn’t appreciate how much Freddie was affected by the loss of his father. Anna’s kind but firm – pursuing this any further would be a waste of Elizabeth’s time and money. Anna encourages her to accept the situation and find other ways to support Freddie. No reputable colleague of Anna’s would take the case. Only firms that make a virtue of taking on lost causes might be prepared to look at it. Elizabeth asks for the names of those firms.
