Susan is ready to lend a hand, and Freddie takes immediate action.

Ian reports to Susan his pizza van business is doing alright; he鈥檚 on his way to cater an office party while Adam sorts Jennifer鈥檚 belongings. There鈥檚 still a lot to get through. Susan鈥檚 reminded of how she couldn鈥檛 face sorting her mum鈥檚 things when she died, and she offers to help Adam with the task.
Having told Freddie that one of Lower Loxley鈥檚 paintings may have a slave ship depicted in it, she鈥檚 confused to see he鈥檚 covered it with a sheet. Won鈥檛 that attract more attention? Freddie wanted her to see he鈥檚 doing something about it. He鈥檚 having the painting removed and hopes to be rid of it completely. Noluthando questions whether hiding the image away really solves the issue. Freddie appreciates this but isn鈥檛 sure what else he can do. He doesn鈥檛 want to court controversy. Noluthando suggests that controversy in a place like Lower Loxley won鈥檛 be limited to only one painting.
As Susan and Adam sort through his mum鈥檚 clothes, Adam finds a letter to Jennifer that he assumes is from Brian. On closer inspection he鈥檚 astounded to see it鈥檚 from his biological father, Paddy Redmond. Curious, he can鈥檛 stop reading it. Ian reads it aloud and they both marvel at the affection in it. Adam wonders why his mum held on to it. Ian points out she may have forgotten she had it. She鈥檇 moved on with her life, as Adam has too. Adam agrees it鈥檚 in the past. He doesn鈥檛 want it to take up too much headspace, and drops the letter into the bin.
