It's the anniversary of Greg's death. Annette turns down Helen's offer to visit Greg's memorial tree, she'd rather just forget about it. Alone by the tree, tearful Helen promises Greg she'll do her best to look after Annette. Will comes by to pay his respects.

Furious Lilian storms round to see Jennifer, having heard about Brian's recent election to Chairman of Borchester Land. How could he do it? Lilian reminds Jennifer how Matt's supported them in the past, such as helping them secure the Estate arable contract. Jennifer tries to placate her. People had lost faith in BL, the board couldn't afford to be associated with Matt any longer. Lilian tells Jennifer she doesn't want to be associated with her. How could she betray her own sister?
