Things are getting tough at Brookfield as David still spends too much time at Lower Loxley.
Radio Times: Emma feels sidelined and David hits password problems.
Characters: Clarrie, David, Elizabeth, Emma, Pat, Ruth- Helen is still determined to go back to her flat. Clarrie thinks a few days and she’ll be back. She’ll want all the help she can get.
- Emma won’t be able to work at Brookfield for much longer so they’ll have to find another cleaner. David thinks it’s essential with things as they are which rather surprises Ruth, David having told her that he wouldn’t be needed so much at Lower Loxley anymore.
- Clarrie is very excited about the visit of the Duchess of Cornwall. Emma is feeling a bit put out. She wants Clarrie to go baby shopping with her but Clarrie doesn’t have the time. She found time for a day out with Nic though, didn’t she?
- David isn’t finding the Estate business harder than he thought. Nigel’s filing system didn’t make things easy. His passwords seem to be after his teddies. Elizabeth gets upset again thinking about it. She is angry with him for not sorting things out. And then really gets angry thinking about how he ignored her about going onto the roof even though she’d told him not to. David doesn’t say anything but clearly feels very guilty.
- When David finally gets back to Brookfield, Ruth is furious with him. He promised things were going to be easier but they aren’t, he couldn’t even remember to ask if Pip passed her test.
