A picnic at Lower Loxley takes an unexpected turn. Meanwhile Roy has everything under control.

Ruth tells Jill that she and David are going out for a meal tomorrow. Jill's really pleased and would happily babysit but Pip's already agreed to do it.

Hayley's delighted with their new car, and loves them working at the same place. Elizabeth congratulates Roy for bringing a fresh approach to his work at Lower Loxley.

Elizabeth's really grateful for David's hard work, and lays out a beautiful picnic for their lunch. David remarks on how good Elizabeth is looking. It's clear that Roy is a great asset. As they sit back and relax, Elizabeth is full of praise for David but he's burdened with guilt as Elizabeth gets more and more emphatic. He can't take it any more, and admits that going on the roof was his idea. Elizabeth is furious. She cannot believe that David's kept it quiet and lied to her for all these months. She storms off, telling David to stay away from her and the children. David is devastated.
