Justin is horrified to hear that a highly unflattering photo of him has appeared on the village website. Khalil has caught him walking Ruby off lead in his distinctive purple velour tracksuit and has posted it. Justin angrily demands that Khalil removes it. Although Khalil is disappointed that people are commenting negatively on Justin’s appearance, his intention was to educate about dog walking rules, and name and shame those who break them. He argues that Justin was trespassing on Grange Farm land, and had a dog off lead close to livestock. Also, people are upset about Monty and want to express how they feel. Justin calls his solicitor, threatening legal action against Khalil if he doesn’t remove the photo. But Lilian twigs the truth – Justin is upset about the comments describing him as a hunched old man. Justin admits it’s made him see himself in a different light – he’s looked in the mirror and he’s old!

Harrison’s police force friend, Leon, arrives from Yorkshire, and Fallon says she’ll work in her room out of the way. Over some beers, Leon gets the truth out of Harrison about Lily. Leon’s surprised and he’s not sure that getting off with a much younger woman, who lives in the same village, when you’re still house-sharing with your ex, is a great idea. Harrison and Leon are enjoying cocktails and burritos when Fallon comes down with her overnight bag. The situation is weird for her and although Harrison protests, she’s going to stay the night at The Bull.
