Freddie's on the mend and enjoying the attention his injury's getting him. He grizzles to Jill about Lily, and is disappointed with Jill's gift of a book. Jill indulges him, though she does point out he won't be riding Topper again until he's much older. She tells Ruth she thinks Freddie's going to get bored. Jill admits the accident has shaken her up, and Elizabeth too.

Ruth is glad Elizabeth apologised to Shula and accepted responsibility. She wishes David could go and see Freddie. She tells Jill that Josh's birthday plans include Phoebe. Jill suggests Ruth should enter her gold chrysanthemums in the show. They speculate on what Jim can be doing banging about in his shed.

Tom's still looking for a free kitchen to make some ready meal samples. Brenda suggests The Bull, but it's no good; he wouldn't have a chef. Tom brightens when Brenda has an idea about investigating supplying a local holiday cottage company.

Brenda and Roy discuss Mike and Vicky. Brenda's impressed with Vicky's strength but thinks Mike's totally panicked. They don't know what to do to help. Later Brenda tells Tom it was good to compare notes. She just hopes Mike and Vicky will be all right in the end.
