Holly causes upset in several directions. Pat fails to find an ally in her quest for justice.

Radio Times: Pat tries to form an alliance. Meanwhile, George is unhappy.

Characters: Emma, George, Lilian, Matt, Nic, Pat, William

• George is almost late for the school bus because he is playing with Holly. Will suggests that they might start to train her when she is a bit older. Nic thinks training needs to start right away – Holly has made a mess in the kitchen, and with a young baby and three young children in the house Nic is less than pleased. Will is pleased, though – he has acquired Jack Woolley’s silver pheasant.
• Someone else who is not pleased is Matt. He and Lilian have been given a painting which they both hate. After trying various locations, Matt decides to hang it in the office out of sight; Anthea has other ideas and makes her dislike of the picture extremely clear. It ends up in the hall, under the stairs, almost out of sight.
• George is not happy leaving Holly at her new home, and is upset all day at school. Emma rings Will to tell him and to accuse him of deliberately upsetting George. George thinks puppy training is starting tonight, is packing his clothes, and refuses to eat his tea unless he can go to Will’s to help. Will admits he may not have made things entirely clear. If George is upset he can come and stay over. Will that be all right with Nic asks Emma? It must be made clear that this is a one-off, replies Will.
• Pat calls on Lilian to ask about her reaction to Peggy’s bombshell, but Lilian totally misunderstands. At first she thinks Pat is referring to Jack’s will, but when Pat puts her right and asks how she feels about Tom and Helen’s good news, Lilian thinks Pat feels the other grandchildren should have been included. What Pat really means is that while Lilian and Jennifer are comfortably off, she and Tony are not. She wants Lilian and Jennifer to go to Peggy and ask her to reconsider, but Lilian says no. Peggy knows what she is doing and it is not their place to complain.
