Lilian's back from New York. Adam sees her in the Bull, looking amazing in her new attire. Eddie's less enthusiastic and doesn't particularly want to share her company. But he can't avoid her when she turns up at the point to point. She gives him a little pennant flag which she had specially printed with 'Eddie's Speakeasy' and Eddie seems to mellow.

She has to calm him down again later, when things get a bit manic and he starts to lose his cool. At the end of the day Tom admits things have gone brilliantly. It's a perfect start to the season. When Adam phones to apologise for Brian's attitude earlier, Tom assures him it's no problem. Adam tries to make excuses for Brian and tells Tom not to take it personally.
