Lynda is keen to find someone. What next for Alice and Chris?

Lynda comments to Kirsty that Adil wouldn’t stop talking about rewilding after his tour. Kirsty has no luck in persuading Lynda to be kinder to Adil. Adam joins them; he’s keen to work out logistics for his and Ian’s pizza van at the fete meeting later. Lynda warns that the WI may not welcome their new enterprise. Lynda thinks Adam should have beef with Adil as he made Ian redundant but Adam remains neutral – something had to change with Grey Gables losing so much money. Lynda isn’t convinced the village will benefit at all when the hotel reopens. 
When Adil arrives at the Tearoom and Kirsty and Lynda introduce him to Adam, Adam wastes no time in promoting his and Ian’s pizza van venture. This makes Adil and Kirsty hungry. Adil asks if he can buy her breakfast. 
Uncooperative Martha has delayed Chris getting her dressed, and she isn’t ready when Alice comes to collect her. Chris invites Alice in and is amazed how compliant Martha becomes. With Chris’ first client of the day cancelling, Alice stays on a while with him. They compare their experiences of being interviewed by the social worker, and Alice announces she’s cancelled the care hearing. Chris is over the moon and they agree to no more fighting. They tell one another how amazing they are as a parent and Alice is touched when Chris says he believes she’ll never drink again. They can only hope the social worker sees that they’re good parents and pursues no further action.
