Alan has a suggestion, and one of the Grundys attracts an admirer.

When Alan catches up with Harrison, he admits that although things are now good with Fallon, he can’t get away from a nagging feeling about the miscarriage.  Alan advises talking to Fallon, but Harrison doesn’t want to rock the boat.  When Alan suggests doing something practical, Harrison says he’s already applied for a baby loss certificate, to acknowledge it happened.  Alan wonders whether he would also consider a Church of England service for the loss of unborn babies, but if so Harrison would need to share it with Fallon.   Later Harrison tells Alan he’d like to do the service and Alan suggests calling round later in the week to talk to both Harrison and Fallon.  Harrison’s not sure about putting Fallon in the picture, but he’ll definitely let Alan know if Fallon’s not going to be there.

Ed and Emma are at the Borsetshire County Show where Bartleby’s the star attraction in his VIP enclosure.  George looks miserable though, but they agree that the recent hero worship may’ve affected him.  Will arrives with the ‘Little Grange Tree Surgery’ flyers and business cards to distribute, and Ed gets a phone call.  It’s a local tree surgeon needing emergency help to clear a tree from a road.  Ed and Emma accept the job, leaving Will and George to do publicity work.  Afterwards Ed and Emma are delighted - their business is up and running!  Will’s less delighted at being left leafletting, but mentions a woman who was keen on Bartleby.  But despite being a celebrity, Bartleby is costing them more that he’ll ever make.
