Summary
At the vets, Paul and Alistair are heading for a drink at The Bull, where Denise will join them. But first Paul wants Alistair to open an envelope that’s addressed to him. Alistair says it can wait, as Denise will be annoyed if they’re late. But Paul thinks she’ll be more annoyed about Alistair signing Hilda up for Kitten Club. Later, Denise enthuses about her plans for Kitten Club before Alistair produces a Valentine card, presuming she sent it. Denise is half-amused, half-annoyed he thinks it was her. Paul sees the card and starts playing detective, but Alistair’s in no mood to speculate. Denise spots a QR code and discovers the card is a promo from Countryside Courting, a dating app Alistair signed up to but never used.
Awkward Alistair says he lost his password. And anyway, he prefers the idea of getting to know someone in person. Paul scoffs, the only people Alistair ever sees are Jim, Jakob, Paul and Denise, then promises he’ll sign Alistair up again.
Despite Fallon’s enthusiasm Harrison’s downbeat at the prospect of playing mini golf with Harry and Alice. He reckons they move in different circles to ‘horsey types’ like Harry. Later, in the middle of their round, Harry clumsily asks whether Fallon and Harrison have children, then if Fallon is pregnant. Harrison walks off, irritated. When Fallon follows him, Harry worries that he hasn’t made a good impression. But in the end, he asserts, his relationship with Alice is what matters most. Alice agrees, before the others return, with Harrison apologising for walking off. They resume playing golf and harmony is restored.
