Alan and Usha camp it up with the neighbours.

Ruth wishes Pip luck with her GCSE results. Pip hopes Ruth will still love her if she fails. Ruth says that won't happen. Jill tries to distract nervous Ruth by telling her about the flower and produce show. There's a new family category this year, called The Versatile Bee: they present five items related to bees. Would the children like to get involved? Pip finally calls!

Later, Jill brings a special celebration cake round for Pip - they're all so proud of her. Pip is disappointed that Izzy's decided against going to college. Pip tried to persuade Izzy otherwise. College won't be the same without Izzy.

Lynda, Robert, Alan and Usha enjoy a coastal walk together. Robert wishes Alan and Usha a happy anniversary.

Later, Alan cooks a banquet on their camping stove, as they toast their anniversary. There's a distant rumble of thunder which Usha doesn't like the sound of, and a closer clap of thunder makes her scream.

Lynda and Robert hear the thunder and Lynda says she must save Alan and Usha. At that moment, they appear. They've brought their anniversary feast and hope that the Snells will share it with them.
