The Archers

When Robert tells Lynda that Gavin turned up to sniff around his dad’s old house, Kirsty’s not sure that’s true as Gavin hasn’t asked for any money. Lynda’s jumpy and Robert wonders if she’s ok as she’s been like that since she got back from the Christmas Market yesterday.

Later Lynda tells Kirsty that she met Gavin yesterday, but didn’t want Robert to know. She thought Gavin looked utterly broken and full of remorse, like he was seeking some kind of redemption. Kirsty admits she felt the same when she saw him and wonders whether he deserves a second chance.

Later when Lynda confesses to Robert about seeing Gavin, he’d already guessed. Jim had seen Lynda having a lift in Alan’s car. He apologises to her saying he’s been selfish and hopes it was healing for her. Tearful Lynda admits she wanted to forgive Gavin, but she couldn’t. Especially when she has to look at her scars every day. But Robert says they remind him what a remarkable woman he married. They agree they’re lucky to have each other.

David’s surprised when Leonard thanks him for agreeing to help pack up his bungalow but then discovers that Jill had volunteered him. David reluctantly agrees to go, even though there’s so much to do on the farm. Leonard takes ages packing up his things and David’s shocked at how much Leonard wants to bring, including his Fiddle Leaf Fig plant! Later when David’s grouchy about Leonard to Jill, she reminds him how special Leonard is to her; he’s given her so much she never expected to have.
