As Rex and Kirsty dismantle their Christmas trail wicker animal displays on the rewilding land, Kirsty notices one of the strategically stacked log piles has been disturbed. It’s definitely smaller, and there are tyre tracks on the ground. It’s clear there’s a thief. Kirsty’s keen to report it, but Rex thinks it would be low priority. Kirsty feels it could be the thin end of the wedge – they need to catch the thieves red-handed. Later they set up a wildlife camera, trained on a woodpile. Trap set, they agree to check back in a couple of days.
Neil and Jazzer update Hannah on the details of last night’s drunken confessions of Martyn Gibson. Jazzer discloses he’s found the episode of the eighties dating show Martyn had been on. The girl choosing on the show was none other than Martyn’s now wife, Pam. She’d detested him on site, rejecting his sleazy lines. Jazzer laughs that this doesn’t tally with Martyn’s account, in which they didn’t go on a date due to ‘an unforeseen complication’. As they laugh at the episode a hungover Martyn approaches and Jazzer puts his phone away. Jazzer and Hannah make veiled references to the show, and Martyn realises they’ve seen it. Neil’s quick to make use of their knowledge, and hints at the importance of maintaining staff loyalty and the dangers of material going viral. Before Martyn rushes off Neil secures a pledge of full-time work for Jazzer, and consultation on future cost-cutting suggestions. Jazzer’s delighted, and can’t wait to tell Tracy. He reckons he’ll propose to her at Hogmanay.
