Pip's surprised when Ruth appears as Jude's dropping her off. Much to Pip's embarrassment Jude accepts Ruth's invitation to tea.

Things are awkward at tea and afterwards David and Ruth comment on Pip's obvious adoration and Jude's immaturity. But Ruth's glad she's met Jude. If the worst is he's wet, then that's not so bad. Jude tells Pip he likes Ruth, and that David's sardonic nature is cool. Pip says not to take it personally. David's been like that ever since she started having boyfriends.
