Joy wakes up in Mick鈥檚 motorhome and they chat about last night鈥檚 after-hours venture into the Grey Gables Spa. Joy hopes Oliver doesn鈥檛 check the CCTV as the spa is out of bounds at night. Unfortunately they鈥檙e interrupted by Oliver ringing - a guest鈥檚 ring has been stolen and he needs to review the CCTV footage. Mick needs to get to his office asap.

At The Stables, Lilian鈥檚 shocked when Justin explains he鈥檚 interviewing Carlotta Mayfield. Lilian thought they were going to discreetly sound people out, not start a formal recruitment process. Justin clarifies that they don鈥檛 know if or when Alice will be in a fit state to return to work. In the meantime, Carlotta, or whoever they appoint, can be a stand-in temporary manager. Then if Alice doesn鈥檛 come back, someone鈥檚 already trained up.

Jakob successfully carries out an emergency procedure on Oliver鈥檚 horse. Justin passes on the news to Oliver, but they鈥檙e interrupted by Mick who鈥檚 found the missing ring. Oliver criticises Mick鈥檚 rumpled appearance, reminding Mick that he鈥檚 still on probation.

Later Oliver turns up at Mick鈥檚 motorhome explaining that he鈥檚 discovered that the Health Club CCTV has a blind spot and wants Mick to sort it. Afterwards Joy and Mick agree that they鈥檝e had a narrow escape.

Jakob let鈥檚 Lilian know that Duke is responding well to treatment and along with no new cases of Strangles, it looks like The Stables outbreak has been contained. But Jakob wonders whether with Alice off, Lilian might share the management workload. Lilian says he鈥檚 not the first to mention that.
