Brian's hoping for a unanimous decision from Borchester Land to back Ed's tenancy. He goes with Jennifer, to be at the Lodge when the new carer arrives. Brian wants to talk to Peggy about her meeting with Bryce, the financial advisor, on Friday. They're pleased when Peggy takes to Brigitta, the new carer.

Matt's still tense but Lilian tells Jolene that she's convinced him they're in it together. Jolene admits that things are better with Sid. But Lilian's not convinced that Jolene's plan to support Wayne is the right thing.

Wayne's house-share has fallen through. He's taken aback by Jolene's change of attitude, especially when she insists he finds somewhere else to live. He'd rather stay in the village where he can see Fallon and keep in touch with Jolene. Jolene's adamant he's more likely to find a job further afield. And it would be cheaper, especially if she's paying. Wayne's surprised that she's willing to support him until his jobseeker's allowance comes through. She tells him he can stay until she finds him somewhere else, but he's not to get the wrong idea. Sid knows what she's doing, and agrees it's for the best if it gets him out of the pub.
