Brian’s wary of taking too much credit, before Anna appears and confides in Ruth how difficult she’s finding things with Carol. Anna wants a stairlift and downstairs shower fitted at Glebe Cottage. Ruth reckons that’s beyond their remit as landlords, but Anna offers to pay and Ruth promises to think about it. Kirsty joins them, looking forward to Anna’s talk at the WI, before suggesting a walk round the Rewilding Site with Carol. Kirsty then guides Carol and Anna on the walk, before Anna leaves to prepare her talk and Kirsty offers to show Carol their information on beavers.

Later, Anna’s disappointed to hear from Kirsty that Carol’s not coming to her talk. Afterwards however, Alice, Ruth, Kirsty and Anna discuss issues of misogyny and gender-based violence, before Pip steps outside with Ruth.
