Summary
Anna’s frustrated with Carol as they’re meant to be ready to have grab rails fitted tomorrow, but there’s clutter and chaos everywhere, which Carol resists clearing up. Anna reminds her the Care Assessor’s coming on Thursday, to see how Carol’s managing and whether she’s eligible for extra support. Anna wants Carol to be honest with them, or there’s no point. Alan then arrives for a fundraising meeting, as Carol’s offered to help raise money for the damaged church bell with a scavenger hunt. Carol remarks that Alan reminds her of her late son Richard. Anna can’t see the likeness though before Carol suggests they never agree on anything.
Adam visits harassed Ian at Grey Gables, fuming that Brian has tipped him over the edge, after announcing that Adam’s been eliminated from all decision making at Home Farm. Adam reckons that Brian will run the business into the ground. Kate and Alice still aren’t speaking to Adam, and he blames Debbie for the way the meeting went on Friday – what claim does she have on the land when she isn’t even there to farm it? Wondering how Kate will manage for money without the Partnership, Ian suggests offering her work at Grey Gables, doing housekeeping plus the occasional yoga class. Adam decides he’s going back to work, to prove he’s the one who should be steering the proverbial ship. He can’t just ditch his job, hoping Brian might still see sense. But he needs to win Alice and Kate over to his side, Ian reckons, by telling them all about Brian’s duplicity.

| 1:02.7 | Oh, well, some of them are for recycling, but some of them I want to keep. |
| 1:06.8 | So, which ones are you keeping? |
| 1:09.0 | Well, I'm not sure. I need to look through them first and then cut out specific articles. So then why are they out in the hall? Because I'm compartmentalising. So can we sort them out now? No, that'll take ages. But we need to clear the hall, mum, for the grab rails. Do we? Yes, definitely. Plus, they're a trip hazard. |
| 1:30.2 | They're not a trip hazard at all. I just walk around them. Oh, mum. Oh, don't start. I'm not. |
