Debate rages at Grange Farm, and Lily treads carefully.

Stella can’t get over yesterday’s cyber-attack – she should’ve been prepared, but Pip thinks Stella shouldn’t blame herself and anyway Stella may not have been responsible.  When Stella starts catastrophising, Pip checks whether everything’s been saved on to the cloud and Stella confirms it has.  So nothing’s been lost.  Later they discover that it was Brian’s fault – he’d clicked on a link and let the virus in.  Stella praises Pip for dealing with it all so calmly, when she’d fallen to pieces.

Lily and Josh check in with Paul about his relationship with Etienne.  Paul’s very unhappy, particularly when Josh let’s slip that he thinks Etienne is dull and then Lily confirms it.  They wonder if Paul might be better off without Etienne, especially as it sounds like he wants to cheat on Paul.  Paul’s not sure if he wants to end the relationship yet, but he does want to take Lily and Josh out to thank them for being true mates.

The Grundys discuss what they should do about Bartleby – Meg needs to know whether they’re willing to sell him by the end of the day.  But when they share what they think, they all have opposing views.  Later they ask for Oliver’s help, and he suggests holding a secret ballot with family members who can text their votes to him.  As there’s an even number of voters, Oliver will have the casting vote if there’s a draw.   In the end Oliver declares that selling Bartleby has won by a single vote.
