Kenton meets Kathy, Jamie and Fallon at the airport, back from New Zealand, and gets a cool response from Kathy. Jamie is subdued but perks up a little when Kenton mentions the football. Sid's funeral was awful. Jolene will be returning next Wednesday, once she's sorted out the paperwork necessary to bring Sid's ashes back.

Over at Jaxx, Alice is bragging about outperforming her father in a friendly strawberry-selling competition. Kirsty promotes her upcoming fund-raising activities for Arkwright Lake, and mentions Brenda, who's in a real tizz about work. Kenton eventually turns up, in need of a distraction.

After another frustrating meeting at college, Jude tries to drown his sorrows. Pip is adamant his tutor was totally out of order. She's seen how hard Jude works and knows there's nothing his course tutors can do that Jude can't already do better.

Buoyant Chris and Alice interrupt, declaring their plans for their American road next month. They'll see where life takes them. Suddenly inspired by Chris and Alice's enthusiasm, Jude announces to Pip he's made a decision. He's going to ditch the course altogether and bring his travel plans forward. After all he's had to put up with at the college, he's going to reward himself with a year abroad.
