Lilian is mystified as to why Justin would want to work in the village shop. Justin insists he鈥檚 being community minded, but she鈥檚 sure there鈥檚 an ulterior motive. She warns him about possible tricky customers, a sentiment echoed by Susan when he begins his trial shift. She advises the main thing is not to let one鈥檚 impatience show. Justin鈥檚 calm until Lilian turns up. She makes herself a nuisance and asks for a refund. Justin needs Susan鈥檚 help, but Susan takes her time and Justin鈥檚 patience wears thin. Susan reports to Jim afterwards that Justin was fine with most of the customers, but hopeless with Lilian, who he allowed to wind him up. Given the choice between Justin and Joy, they decide on Justin. Susan reckons if he鈥檚 up to no good, this is a fair way to keep tabs on him.
Erik can鈥檛 quite believe he鈥檚 been persuaded to swim in a river in January. He鈥檚 game however, and against Kirsty鈥檚 advice throws himself into the water straight away.

Erik gives away far more information than Kirsty, who finds it refreshing not to dwell on her past but simply enjoy the company of a handsome man. She invites Erik back to her place, an offer he accepts with pleasure.
