Kate struggles to find the silver lining, and Brad opens his heart.
Brad鈥檚 showing Kate how to make beds at Grey Gables when they hear a noise in the wardrobe and Fletch the budgie flies. Alerted by the commotion, Oliver helps catch Fletch, stating they can reunite the Maliks with their budgie. Brad continues showing Kate the housekeeping ropes, chatting about Zainab handing Fletch back to Akram, before moving on to unrequited love. Brad reflects sadly on his doomed relationship with Amber, without mentioning her name. Kate鈥檚 advice is to do everything he can to move on, because he deserves better in life 鈥� but only Brad can make that happen.
Whilst waiting at The Bull to speak to Miranda, Brian tells Kirsty he鈥檚 relieved David no longer blames him for the dog attack. Kirsty and Jolene are impressed by George and Amber鈥檚 social media campaign for the Borchester Show, before Miranda walks in. When Brian asks for a word, she tells him there鈥檚 nothing to say and walks off. Later, Brian tells Jolene he鈥檚 going round to see Miranda. Jolene reckons it鈥檚 a bad idea, but Brian鈥檚 determined. However, Brian finds Oliver sharing a nightcap with Miranda on the terrace at 91福利社 Farm. She tells Brian frostily her sympathies are with Adam over 91福利社 Farm, then rejects Brian鈥檚 request to take him back.
Kirsty shares reassuring news with Kate about her unborn baby鈥檚 blood test results before Brian turns up, wallowing in self-pity. After giving him some blunt advice Kate softens, since she wouldn鈥檛 wish a broken heart on anyone.
