It's all work and no play for Tom and Brenda, and the Dower House opens its doors to guests.
Josh has finished editing the cookery demonstration video he made with Jill and his teacher is pleased with the work.
Matt is reacquainting himself with village life. He's determined not to hide at the Dower House. If anyone has anything to say they can say it to his face. He receives a warm welcome from Jill and Oliver.
Jennifer and Brian go to the Dower House for pre-dinner drinks to welcome Matt back home, but the occasion is hard going. Jenny puts her foot in it about Matt's security tag and everyone struggles to keep a normal conversation going. Brian finds it all quite amusing. Later he confides to Jennifer that Matt is cagier than ever now, even though he seems rock solid with Lilian. Jennifer speculates that Lilian obviously hasn't said anything to Matt about Paul.
Tom is under pressure at work. So is Brenda, who is at a show in Birmingham all day handing out free samples of the drink they are trying to promote. When they both arrive home late to an empty fridge and therefore no tea, neither are impressed, and Brenda goes off in a huff.
