Fallon feels bad to be leaving the busy Bull to spend time with Harrison. Jolene assures her they’ll be fine. She hints at knowledge of the birthday surprise Harrison has in store for Fallon. Later Jolene’s shocked to learn their new staff member can’t work while Fallon’s away. Kenton suggests asking Fallon to stay but Jolene won’t hear of it. Fallon and Harrison need the time together; absence doesn’t always make the heart grow fonder and she doesn’t want their relationship to go the wrong way.
Brian’s enjoys a pub lunch date with Miranda. As they get their drinks Miranda’s surprised to hear from Kenton that Brian was in the pub last night too. Brian hurriedly moves the conversation on. As he declares brightly that he’d love Miranda to join them on their family holiday, she wrongfoots him by announcing their relationship might have run its course. Brian’s shocked – he thought things were going marvellously. Miranda counters that unlike Jennifer she won’t put up with his shenanigans – he’d told her he was at home with a book last night and clearly he wasn’t. And Jolene saw him with a woman. Cornered, Brian confesses he’s been having secret bridge lessons with Martyn Gibson. When Miranda doesn’t believe him, he suggests she call Martyn. She does so immediately and Brian’s story checks out. Miranda apologises, but wants them to enter a bridge tournament. If they win, all will be well, but if there’s no improvement in Brian’s game, well… Brian quakes, and Miranda says he’d better hope Lady Luck’s on his side.
