Amos is adamant he doesn't want to consider Alan as an option for the pub but worries as Henry notes how much pressure finding a manager and the situation with Marian is putting on him. Alan calls Gary and speaks to him about offering his services to The Woolpack. Amos agrees to see Alan regarding his application for The Woolpack. Henry is delighted when he offers Alan a three month trial. Alan refuses his offer, telling Amos that he's changed his mind over managing the pub and would like to buy it instead. Amos is amazed but agrees to Alan's proposition, knowing that turning Alan's offer down would mean more worry for Henry. They shake hands as Henry looks on astonished.
