Lynda’s frustration grows and there are fireworks on Tom and Natasha’s first wedding anniversary

Tom and Natasha spoil one another with gifts for their first anniversary and Natasha’s birthday. They’re going to Bridge Farm later for brunch. Natasha suggests they open a joint account to save for a house. Taking a bite of the cake he baked for Natasha, Tom finds her granddad’s signet ring. Nursing a painful tooth he reveals he faked his hand injury so she wouldn’t know he’d lost the precious ring. Natasha teases him gently and forgives him. 

Lynda tries to apologise to Freddie but he’s not interested and then asks whether she’s accusing him of stealing food that’s being temporarily stored in the staff room. Lynda reveals that Johnny explained to her what the pills were for. Lynda pauses her attempt at an apology to reprimand a workman in the kitchen who is making a lot of noise.

Emma delivers breakfast things to Grey Gables so they can continue to feed guests despite their kitchen problems. Tracy helps her unload and draws out of Emma that she suggested to Ed that they get divorced. She’s stunned at Emma’s coolness over it. Tracy follows Emma out of Grey Gables insisting that divorce for her and Ed is a bad idea. There is an explosion from inside the hotel and they run to help those inside.
