Things take a surprising turn for Jill and Pat offers a shoulder to cry on.

Ruth finds Kathy upset, having overheard people criticising Jamie. Josh wasn't involved in the trashing of the bird hide - in fact, he's upset that Jamie's ditched him for older mates.

Jamie's unhappy to be missing Jill's birthday lunch in Bath. He's also refusing to name names - although he is helping Robert repair the hide. Kathy's anxious as this is GCSE year for Jamie. Since Sid died, everything's going wrong. She confesses that Jamie was responsible for all the graffiti, which Sid never knew about. Kathy's determined to stay strong and impose discipline, even if Jamie resents her for it.

Kenton misses Jamie, but Shula reminds him he's not his dad. Perhaps it's time to move on. As Shula and Jill enjoy the morning service at Bath Abbey, Jill expresses how proud she is of Pip, who's managed to organise the Young Farmers dance at Brookfield. But she wonders what the future holds for Kenton. She likes having family close by, and just hopes Kenton doesn't up-sticks to go and live near Meriel.

Shula manages to steer Jill to the surprise lunch location. The big reveal doesn't go exactly as planned, but Jill's over the moon to see everyone who's gathered.
