Justin looks to the future, and Robert and Jim go head-to-head.

Usha's keen to get stuck in at nets but her first attempts at batting aren't a success. Harrison counsels baby steps, but Robert's not sure she has what it takes. They agree she's enthusiastic, good with the youngsters and a great team player, but they really need people who can bat and bowl.

Anisha's sent Alistair a list of potential new equine clients while she's away caring for her parents. He's not sure he'll have much success but Shula reassures him he knows a lot about horses; he should pick up that phone and knock 'em dead.

When Justin suggests he and Lilian should follow birder Robert's example and take a turn round Arkwright Lake, Lilian reacts with dismay. She hopes life won't get too domestic. Justin lovingly reassures her they have a whole season to plan. Her suggestion of a trip to Alderney meets with his approval. They should go there on their honeymoon! Realising the implications of this, Lilian is temporarily dumbfounded. The tricky moment is interrupted by a commotion in the hide, as Robert and Jim argue over a contentious bird spot. Later, Lilian blusters that she needs to be back into Home Farm for a while - just to get her head around various things. She promises she'll see Justin soon.
