Lilian is uncomfortable and Jazzer is fed up.

Tom's going to be busy with Farmhouse Breakfast Week and Jazzer will take over Mike's milk round when the baby arrives. This means Tom will also take on Jazzer's work with the pigs, so he reckons he's worse off. Jazzer's fed up with hearing him moan.
Tony mentions that he's suggested taking over a couple of morning milkings. Pat convinces him it's a bad idea. She's sure Tom will understand.
Pat invites Tom to stay for lunch but Brenda's expecting him home and Jazzer's in the van, expecting Tom to buy him a pint. Pat persuades Tom to come for lunch tomorrow.
Tom senses that his parents want to talk. He's hopeful it's about Tony starting to help with the milking.
Having Lilian stay makes Paul realise his home (in Watford) needs a woman's touch. He's booked lunch at a local restaurant and wants to go into London tomorrow, but Lilian wants to be a bit discreet.
After lunch, Lilian enjoys lazily watching an old film but feels she should go home. Matt keeps texting and it's difficult to keep up the pretence that she's visiting an old friend. She'll leave in the morning. Paul doesn't want her to feel bad. She assures him that when they're together she doesn't.
