Azra tells Lynda that Adil’s keen for the garlic from his allotment to be entered into the Flower and Produce Show – he’s even asked Azra to make a video for him. But Azra’s not keen and when Lynda then tries to persuade Azra to help on a stall at the village fete, Azra makes a sharp exit. However, later on Azra calls back round to say it might be good to go to the Flower and Produce on Adil’s behalf, and to help at the fete as a sort of acclimatisation. Lynda suggests helping with the book stall. At The Stables, Justin’s cagey when Lilian asks why he’s assigned Alice to yard duties only. Alice is fine with it, but wonders what her role will be in marketing the ‘Cantering On’ event. When Lilian mentions that George is making some publicity videos, Alice says she’d like to present one. Justin’s not keen, though. He hopes Lilian’s joking when she reminds him that George is thinking of filming Justin on horseback in fancy dress. Later, Alice notices that Justin’s horse, Amir, is unwell and arranges for Alistair to treat him. Lilian tells Justin that he should be grateful to Alice for spotting Amir’s colic. Justin grudgingly agrees to thank her, but he won’t allow Alice to get involved with marketing ‘Cantering On’ – it would be bad publicity. They don’t know what the outcome of the court case will be, and Lilian shouldn’t be short-sighted. Alice could end up in prison, which will affect team morale. And that is why they need to keep Carlotta on.
