Lynda joins one of Oliver’s Lower Loxley tours and it becomes clear it’s to show him her expertise in dealing with ‘challenging’ situations. Cottoning on Oliver wrongly assumes that Tracy has spilled the beans about his conversation with Adil yesterday. He tries to apologise for calling her challenging, and it dawns on Lynda that Adil and Oliver were talking about her and not the role. Later Adil’s surprised when Ian drops off his signed contract for the Interim Head of Food position, but concedes it’s fine as long as that’s the only surprise appointment that Oliver’s made. They’re interrupted by Lynda who confronts them about calling her ‘unmanageable’ and ‘challenging’. They only make things worse when they attempt to back-track. Finally, when Adil offers Lynda the job of organising their opening event, Lynda tells them she’s too busy and leaves.
Ian tells Helen he’s accepted the Head of Food role. Helen wonders if he’ll get to choose the cheese suppliers. She can drop some supplies round. But Ian stops her saying she’d be one of several potential suppliers. Helen retreats and gives Ian the brush off when he suggests meeting up. Later Ian asks Kirsty for advice, wondering if the Rob situation is getting Helen down more than she’s admitting. But when Kirsty checks in with Helen, she’s ok; work has been a little bit stressful but she’ll been able to focus more while Lee’s visiting his daughters in San Francisco. And she’s heard nothing more from Miles or Rob. Helen’s delighted when Kirsty offers to stay while Lee’s away.
