Tom's despondent. With so much bad publicity about Bridge Farm on the internet, he admits that going after new customers is a waste of time. Brenda insists they need to flag up some good news stories to knock the bad ones off the first search engine page, She suggests getting an online marketing expert to help out.

Jennifer plans to see Phoebe off at the airport but Peggy's not sure it's a good idea. Lilian agrees that Jennifer should say her goodbyes to Phoebe at home. Lillian reminds Matt that she's going round the Open Gardens tomorrow with James and Leonie, who'll be doing research for their book. Matt doesn't want to join them.

Peggy persuades Lilian to accept her plan to help Elona rent Amside's house (3, The Green) by standing as guarantor for the deposit and subsidising the rent. Peggy intends to pay Elona to help her round the house. And by helping her to afford a suitable home in Ambridge, Elona can continue looking after Jack.

Matt's not keen but Lilian reminds him she's managing director of Amside and she's said yes. It helps Peggy, it's good for Jack and it gives them a secure tenant.
