Shula has a run-in with Alistair over his commitment level and David and Ruth enjoy being able to leave the farm.

Radio Times: Shula feels neglected.

Characters: Alistair, David, Lillian, Ruth, Scott, Shula

• David and Ruth are still enjoying the freedom of being able to get off the farm. They decide to go out to the Bull tonight – just because they can.
• Lillian and Scott are at the Stables, chatting to a slightly embarrassed Shula. Scott tells her about his almost brilliant film career. Then there’s a crash from a nearby stable, and the sound of a horse in pain. It looks like colic to Shula, and she phones Alistair straight away. But he’s off on another case and doesn’t get there for three hours. Shula is furious. They row. She thinks he should get his priorities right.
