Summary
Justin waits impatiently for the delivery of Peggy’s artwork to the Rewilding site. Like Kirsty, he hopes it’ll have a big impact. Kirsty’s worried the dimensions of the plans they were sent by the artist are wrong, while Justin admits he did change direction several times on the design. When the delivery arrives, with David there too, they agree the small artwork is exquisite, but Kirsty wonders where the rest of it is. Later, Justin admits there’s been a miscommunication between him and the artist over the work’s dimensions: what’s been delivered is all there is. Justin used up most of the budget on multiple design changes. Kirsty is deeply unimpressed – this is nothing like the large-scale artwork everybody will be expecting to see at Thursday’s unveiling. Desperate Justin promises to fix it by then.
Susan’s irked to find Akram has been moving things around while waiting for her at the Dairy. She explains he’ll be observing today before receiving training another time. Akram starts taking notes, but worries he’s got off on the wrong foot. Susan softens a little, but makes it clear she’s in charge. On their break Akram and Susan discuss Clarrie being laid off, with Susan admitting she wanted Clarrie back when Adam left. Susan’s worried about tomorrow’s tea with George and Amber, hoping to get things back on track after Clive’s recent intervention. Akram mentions the “meal to heal” concept, later explaining this in detail while Susan takes notes. She thinks it sounds perfect, reckoning they’ve both learnt something today.

| 1:01.5 | Waiting out here won't make the lorry arrive any sooner, Justin. |
| 1:04.7 | You're like a kid waiting for Santa Claus. |
| 1:06.6 | Oh, I feel like it, Kirsty. |
| 1:09.0 | Oh, I so want this artwork to meet expectations. I know what you mean. We want it to make a big impact, like Peggy did. I can't wait to see it in position. It's freezing out here. Well, you could always help us prepare the ground by the entrance area. That'd warm you up. You have checked the plans. It needs anchoring quite deeply. |
| 1:28.4 | Yeah, about that. Rex thinks the plans are wrong. The dimensions don't make sense. |
| 1:33.2 | What? |

| 1:40.7 | True. Rex invited the echo again to the unveiling on Thursday, but... |
| 1:45.9 | There's still no response? No, and they haven't even reprinted our press release, |
| 1:49.5 | which is a shame, because it was very well written, if I say so myself. But without an image |
| 1:54.0 | of the artwork... I did ask Julie to send one, but she seemed a little stretched. |
| 1:58.1 | Well, didn't you say she had a big spring exhibition somewhere? |
| 2:02.8 | I wouldn't mind going. Where is it? |
