Lilian comments on Pat's radio interview coming across as a bit cold, but then rushes off to meet James and Leonie who are arriving today. The pair try to persuade Lilian to go to the Snells' garden party rather than Ken Dickinson's barbecue. Convinced they're going to make an announcement, Lilian puts her foot down and insists that Matt excuses them from the barbecue.

Pat is still worrying about the radio interview, and is annoyed by Lilian's comments. Kathy insists that she came across as professional and suggests they have coffee and a chat later.

Clarrie is still upset about the children in hospital, and after hearing the radio interview she wants to go and see Pat despite Eddie's protestations. She calls Pat, who agrees that they need to talk.

At Bridge Farm, Clarrie maintains her composure as she tells Pat that she's resigning. Pat reluctantly accepts - there isn't much work in the dairy anyway - but hopes that if they find their way out of this mess she may be able to offer her work again.

Clarrie is clearly very upset when she tells Eddie. Although he's also unhappy, he tells her that they've survived other tough times so can survive this too.
