Kirsty leads the charge, and Jakob slips up.

When Alice turns up at The Stables, Lilian thanks her for dropping by, it can’t have been easy.  She offers to go to the court hearing with Alice tomorrow, but Alice declines.  Justin checks if Lilian’s told Alice about recent developments, while Lilian’s encouraging Alice to leave so that she doesn’t see Carlotta arriving for her interview.   Lilian’s saved by Jakob appearing to discuss Duke’s emergency treatment and Alice is keen to see the horse.  Later Justin reckons they should be honest with Alice, but Lilian thinks she’s still too fragile.  Justin agrees to wait to see how things go with Carlotta.

Alice thanks Jakob for covering for Alice when he discovered her drinking – he’s a good friend.  But when Jakob tries to reciprocate, saying Alice is a good stables manager and her replacement will have big shoes to fill, Alice is shocked by the news.

Fallon’s trying out Kirsty’s Bushcraft event at the Rewilding site.  Fallon admits she nearly didn’t come  because of how things are with Harrison.  Her birthday was awful because she discovered he’d had a prayer meeting with Alan but hadn’t told her.  Joy arrives and they start by making a shelter before learning how to make a fire.  Chat turns to Roy and whether love is in the air again with Lexi.  At the end Fallon and Joy have had a great time – it feels like they’ve been on holiday.  It’s made Joy think of fresh start; things are good with Mick, but she could be more open with him.  Fallon agrees – she really needs to sort things out with Harrison.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
