Classic quote:
“He’s gone berserk with the cheese board.” - Lois on Sutton’s serving skills.
Leo would like James to partner with him on the project but given the run down state of the property and how much it would cost,
Meanwhile Jennifer’s old friend Lois arrives at Melford having left boyfriend Tony. As the episode starts it’s clear that Jennifer is pretty depressed, still struggling to find her place at Melford but the arrival of Lois does give Jennifer the chance to talk about what’s on her mind - principally the fact that she thinks she is pregnant and doesn’t want to be. She hasn’t told James yet but he has an inkling. It turns out to be a false alarm in any case.
Excuse my pedantry, but...
That old woman in the farmhouse had an unfeasably young son.
Also, we're expected to believe Jennifer and her friend trudged through the woods in her fancy clothes to get to the house?
