Spencer's taking Pip home. She decides she's going to be all sweet and reasonable, in the hope her parents will change their minds about a new car.

Pip pops into the shop first, where Susan and Jennifer are having a good catch up. They are disappointed that the fete will not have a regency theme. Susan thinks Vicky was in a difficult position, being Lynda's friend but having Jazzer tell her that the Highland Games would be good publicity for Mike's milk and Grange Farm.

Susan remarks that Pip must be proud of Josh buying into the egg business. On learning this, Pip's good intentions disappear. She storms in on David and Ruth, accuses them of double-standards, and demands to know how much they've lent Josh. Ruth tries to calm her down but David is unsympathetic. He reminds her of all they've done for her and is adamant she must learn to live within her means. Anything else, she must work for.

Ruth wishes Pip hadn't heard it from someone else. David agrees, but it wouldn't have changed how he feels. He tells Ruth not to let Pip guilt-trip her into anything. Ruth wishes things were different between Pip and David.
