There’s a miracle for Kate, and Joy offers something special.
At the Tearoom Emma and Natasha chat about Peggy and her ing. Natasha spots Lynda and wants to show her some high concept cricket tea ideas. Emma wonders why she’s bothering, but Natasha thinks it will help change public perception after the sewage leak. However, just as Natasha’s about to present them, Lynda tells her she won’t pander to snobbery in the division and wants to go back to basics. Lynda’s going to employ Fallon’s services though, because she’ll deliver the basics at a lower cost. Natasha’s disappointed, but accepts Lynda’s decision isn’t personal.
Lynda consoles Lilian, who’s upset The Laurels want Peggy’s room cleared straightaway for a new resident. Emma comes over to share her condolences. Lilian reckons Peggy recognised a kindred spirit in Emma, who shares that she’ll miss Peggy and offers to help clear her room.
Joy visits Brian to see how the family are and thinks Peggy must’ve died just as St Stephens’ bells rang out. Brian thinks Peggy would’ve liked the drama of that. When Joy says she’s found a recording of Peggy, Brian suggests ing them all at The Laurels.
Later at The Laurels, Emma and Lilian comfort tearful Kate when she comes across a decoration she made for Peggy as a child. Kate can’t get over Peggy not seeing Hilda before she died, only for Hilda to emerge from under Peggy’s bed. She must have visited Peggy before she died! When Joy and Brian arrive they all settle down to listen to the recording of Peggy reciting Tennyson’s “Ring Out Wild Bells”.
