While cleaning, Lottie is startled by Vicky, quickly noticing her sadness and loneliness. As they chat about the business meeting in the next room and Vicky’s desire to branch out on her own, Lottie blurts out that Vicky doesn’t feel like part of the Harding family; that’s why she wants to make it alone in business. Vicky is impressed by Lottie’s perceptiveness.

Ollie enters from the meeting and kisses Lottie, exposing their budding relationship. Felix follows, teasing Ollie for being smitten with her. Ollie mentions noticing Lottie’s psychology textbooks in her bag, revealing that he’s more observant than she realized. The gesture touches her deeply.

Lottie and Ollie head out for a walk and lunch. Ollie suggests a fancy restaurant, but Lottie refuses, pointing out that she’s in ratty cleaning clothes and reeks of bleach. Ollie takes her to his fishmonger friend instead, where they grab salmon bagels and settle in at a park.
