Oliver is confident that selling the land at Grange Farm will give them enough money to finish the bedrooms at Grey Gables. Adil thinks getting the kitchen right first is more important and reckons he has the perfect solution: buying the kitchen from ‘La Femme du Monde’ restaurant, which has closed down. But then Ian hands in his notice. Despairing Adil confides in Azra, who boosts his confidence and suggests he can still change Ian’s mind.

Adil ropes Oliver in to help him talk to Ian, promising that he won’t run away again, despite Oliver overhearing him say to Azra that he felt like doing so. Tearful Adil then explains that the day he packed his bags was Sabha’s birthday, when he basically falls apart. Sympathetic Oliver cites his experience with Caroline, telling Adil he could have helped. Ian then spurns Azra’s attempt to mediate on her brother’s behalf. But when Adil tells Ian about the chance to buy this amazing kitchen, Ian is clearly tempted to stay, before Azra reveals she got the job as GP at the local surgery.

Brian reveals to Oliver that Natalia knew Jennifer from the WI and was on the cookery course Brian did. He bumped into Natalia last week in Felpersham and invited her to the party to make it go with a zing. But that’s all. Brian then expresses his disappointment that Oliver hasn’t offered to sell him the land at Grange Farm before going to auction, but Oliver won’t budge. He needs the best price he can get.
