Tracy interrupts Jim watching birds in his garden. He’s recording his sightings in the bird diary Jazzer gave him at Christmas. Tracy emphasises how much Jazzer wanted everyone to have a good Christmas, and Jim twigs that this is why Jazzer fell behind with his rent. He thanks Tracy – he should have realised and given Jazzer the benefit of the doubt. Tracy counters that Jazzer really needs to learn to budget better. Having warmed herself up at Greenacres, Tracy hopes Gary’s sorted the boiler at home.
Neil acknowledges to Brian that they’ve done well to keep going at Berrow. He points out he’s only brought Jazzer in to straw down and clean the arcs for an hour or two – he’s aware it’s an extra cost. Neil’s grateful to Alice for looking after Martha so well while Chris has been ill. Brian observes it can’t be easy for Chris living in the flat. He wants to offer Chris one of the holiday cottages, until the divorce is settled. Neil thinks it’s a generous offer. Brian points out Alice would be close by, adding he wants what’s best for Martha.
Phoebe breaks her job news to busy Rex. He’s very reasonable about it, which makes Phoebe feel guilty. He points out the rewilding will be a challenge until he can find help – but he knows he’s in the right place, and he hopes Phoebe will be too. She thanks him, before dropping the news that Kate’s interested in taking over from her. Rex really hopes Phoebe’s joking.
