Chapter 1: What is the conflict between Adam and Carol about?
. . . .
OK, Mum, why have you got all these magazines stacked in the hallway? Oh, well, some of them are for recycling, but some of them I want to keep. So which ones are you keeping? Well, I'm not sure. I need to look through them first and then cut out specific articles. So then why are they out in the hall? Because I'm compartmentalising. So can we sort them out now? No, that'll take ages.
But we need to clear the hall, Mum, for the grab rails. Do we? Yes, definitely. Plus, they're a trip hazard. They're not a trip hazard at all. I just walk around them. Oh, Mum.
Chapter 2: How does Carol feel about the magazines in the hallway?
Oh, don't start. I'm not. You have that tone. Look, they're coming to fit them tomorrow and we need, as a matter of some urgency, to get this place ready. It is ready. There's stuff everywhere. I'm sure they can walk around a bit of stuff, Anna. I don't know why you get like this. Don't you? Why don't we have a cup of tea? Calm your nerves. Mum, you're a card. Did you know that?
It's been so while since I've heard that turn of phrase. Yeah, me too. Oh, I quite like the idea of being a card. So the guys, whoever the guys are, I suppose it's just going to be one bloke, isn't it? Or a woman even, maybe. Anyway, whoever is coming to fit these grab rails, they'll be here between 8.30 and 4. Well, that's not very convenient. Why?
Because I'll have to wait in for most of the day. But you're usually in most of the day anyway. I do go out, you know. I make a point of it, taking a little constitutional. Well, it's just one day, isn't it? And these grab rails are important. And you never know, they might turn up early. So you need to make sure you're up and dressed and ready to answer the door by 8.30.
Anna, I am awake with the lock. OK, OK. And then don't forget that the care assessor is coming on Thursday. Yes, yes, yes. I've got it all written down. Don't fuss, Anna. I'm not fussing. I'm just checking that you know the schedule. I haven't got dementia, you know. Who said anything about dementia? How long will it take?
Chapter 3: What preparations are being made for the grab rail installation?
That's what I want to know. How long will what take? Fitting the grab rails. Well, I can't imagine it'll be that long. Well, I do hope they don't make a mess. Because the house is so pristine. The house is how I like it. I am sure there'll be neat workers, Mum. Do you think it's too late to cancel? Cancel? I'm just not convinced that it's worth it.
Well, of course it's worth it if they prevent you from falling over. But I haven't fallen over for weeks now. And that's the way we want to keep it. Fine, fine, fine. I give up.
Hi, Ian. Sorry. Adam? Have you got five minutes?
Well, kind of. I mean, it's Bank Holiday Monday and we're booked up solid.
Can I just tell you one thing?
What's happened? What's wrong?
I think Brian might have tipped me over the edge. I thought he did that ages ago. Oh, thanks. No, sorry, I didn't mean to. He won't talk to me. He just won't talk to me. It's so childish. Have you seen him? No, no, he's been avoiding me all weekend. He's literally hiding from me. hide for 30 days, can he? I don't know. He can't, of course he can't. It's ridiculous. Okay.
If there's no land, there's no partnership. What's going to happen to Home Farm? I have no idea. Brian's 82 years old. I know, Adam. He cannot withdraw the land.
And yet it seems like he can.

Chapter 4: What challenges does Adam face regarding Brian and the land?
But we're supposed to be sorting the house out for tomorrow. But the house is fine. It's really not. You know, poor Alan is at his wit's end. Is he? Why? Because he's got to raise so much money for the church bell. Oh, yeah. And I thought I might be able to help him. How? Because we used to do all sorts of fundraising, didn't we? Back in the day. Did you? Yes, yes. I can't really remember, Mum.
Well, we did. And we were very good at it. Don't you remember that marvellous scavenger hunt we did when you were little? Vaguely. OK, so when's Alan coming? 11, I think. It's 11 now. Oh, well, he'll be here any moment then. OK, I suppose I can do a bit of tidying while you're chatting to Alan. But just one thing, Mum. Yes?
On Thursday, when the care assessor comes, you need to be honest with them. You know, you really don't need to talk to me like I'm an idiot. I don't talk to you like you're an idiot. I've never talked to you like you're an idiot. You talk to me like I'm an idiot. Well, you can be a bit dense sometimes. Thanks, thanks. Oh, I'm sorry, darling. I am a highly qualified barrister.
I know, I know you are. I realise that. Mum. What? I'm acknowledging that you are clever. All I'm trying to say is that there's no point the care assessor coming if you're not straight with them. Are they going to ask very intrusive questions? No. They're just going to ask you practical things about how you manage day to day and whether you're eligible for any extra support. What kind of support?
Well, it could be all sorts, Mum. Access to day centres. But I don't want to go to a day centre. All right, but it depends on what they think you need. I do wish I could be here. Well, you can't, so never mind. You know, you'll just have to trust me. Well, what's that supposed to mean? Oh, there's Alan. Great. Answer the door, darling. Hi, Alan. Oh, hello, Anna. I hear you're having a meeting.
Yes, yes, Carol's kindly offered to discuss fundraising ideas for the church bell.

Chapter 5: How does Carol plan to help with fundraising for the church bell?
Yes, yes, she said. Oh, do you want to come in, Alan?
Oh, yeah, if that's all right.
Oh, yes, of course, it's all right. Thank you. Oh, why don't you make the tea, Anna? And then Alan and I can go out into the garden and get started. How do you take your tea, Alan?
Would I be able to have a coffee? Sure. Thank you.
And Kate and Alice, they're still not speaking to me either. Oh, is Kate back? Yeah, yeah, she got back on Saturday.
You just need to tell them. I mean, everything. Everything? Yeah, that Brian originally promised you the land and then reneged. Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't know.
I really think you should... I think it's important, because it's context. But I don't think they'd actually listen right now. I'm sure they would. It just never crossed my mind that Brian would withdraw the land from the partnership... I don't know why. I suppose I never thought I'd do that to the others.
I did have one thought, you know, about that. What? Well, if Kate is worried about finances, then she could come and work here. Here? We're currently really short-staffed, and we're only going to get busier now. It's nearly summer. What would Kate do here? Teach yoga? Well, actually, yeah, she could run a class or two, but I was actually thinking housekeeping, bar work, admin, etc.
That's what we actually need right now. Do you think she might be up for that?

Chapter 6: What is the significance of Alan's arrival in the conversation?
Oh.
Do you know something?
What? You reminded me of Richard, then. Richard?
Yeah, my son.
Oh, sorry. Yes, yes, your son.
You never met him, did you? No, I'm sorry. I didn't know. He died of a heart attack.
Yes, I think I knew that.
Such a shock, you know?
Yes.

Chapter 7: How does the discussion about family relationships unfold?
Yeah, and I'd better get back to the farm anyway.
You're going back there?
Well, yeah. I mean, I can't just leave Brian to it, can I? Why not? Because he's going to ruin everything. Well, that's his problem, isn't it? No, I mean... No, no way. I'm not giving up or giving in. And it is my job, Ian. I can't just ditch it, can I? Yeah, yeah, OK. Fair enough. And you never know, maybe if I just carry on as normal, don't rise to the bait, Brian might even see sense. Really?
Yeah, I mean, why not? Well, because he's done this a thousand times before. But it's just not remotely practical, what he's doing. And Kate and Alice know that. I just wish they'd talk to me. We need to work together to make Brian C. sense. He's more likely to listen to them than me, let's face it. But if Alice and Kate can work on him together, it's in their interests too. I know, yeah, I know.
So, I really don't know why they're ignoring me. Don't you? What do you mean?
Well, I think we both know why they're ignoring you. Whose side are you on? I'm on your side, Adam.

Chapter 8: What resolution is sought by the end of the episode?
Of course I am. But Alice and Kate aren't right now. You need to win them over. Tell them the truth about how Brian promised you the land. Tell them everything, please.
