Robert faces friction at the B&B and Shula proves a bad influence.

Lynda arrives home on crutches and is greeted by Leonie. Lynda is disappointed the Monty has been taken for a walk by Ben and Ruairi and then horrified there’s a bed downstairs for her. She insists she’ll be sleeping upstairs. Leonie gets annoyed by Lynda’s lack of thanks and she starts to speak her mind; Robert takes her away from Lynda and tells her off. Later, Robert brings a towel for Lynda while she’s in the bath. She doesn’t want him to look at her. He reminds her that he bathed her in hospital and loves her as much now as he ever did. Once in a bathrobe, Lynda apologises to Robert – she doesn’t know why she’s being irritable – and promises to do better. Robert reunites her with Monty and Lynda is overjoyed. 

Tracy’s enthusiasm for the new cricket season quickly fades at Harrison’s talk for recruiting new players. She thinks everyone over 50 should be booted off. They realise that the kit has gone mouldy since last season. 

Kirsty turns up to help Shula decorate eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt after rearranging her plans with Helen. Shula asks about Philip and Gavin but Kirsty doesn’t really want to talk about it. It’s hard having Gavin still living with them. Shula doesn’t think Philip deserves what’s been said about him round the village. Kirsty knocks over the chocolate bunny Lilian donated for the Easter Festival. It breaks so Shula decides to share it with Kirsty.
