Eddie and Neil get competitive.
Neil asks Tony if he'll approach Peggy with his idea for the flat above the shop. Tom arrives and Tony says he's put the wheels in motion with Graham Ryder about Bridge Farm. Tom's a little unsettled - what if he tells Brian he wants out and then Borchester Land turn Tony down? Tony says Tom has to stick to his side of the bargain.
Emma thinks Ed's idea for selling veg on the milk round is great. They're frustrated that they can't find anywhere nice to live, but they're happy just to be together. Emma feels guilty about Will having to start somewhere new, but Ed says it's the only way they can all get on.
Neil and Eddie have clashed with arrangements for George, and find that they're both expecting to look after him. Eddie suggests they all go to the park. Competition between them for George's approval is fierce. They squabble over a game of funfair darts before stuffing George full of ice cream and candy floss. By the time they arrive at Jaxx, George is thoroughly hot and bothered. Appalled Emma says Neil and Eddie should be ashamed of themselves, and the two granddads are suitably sheepish.
