Pip's working hard, and Kirsty enjoys a glass of champagne.

Tom tells Kirsty it went well at Bellingham's yesterday but he didn't realise they'd need several hundred packs of each line every week for the trial. Tom realises he's banging on again but Kirsty's interested. Tom gives her a bottle of bubbly as thanks for her support. Kirsty's seeing Damien later but suggests she and Tom share the bubbly first. Kirsty wonders how Tom feels about working with a supermarket again. Tom knows he made a lot of mistakes before, and hopes he's learned from them.

Ruth's pleased Pip is revising but asks her to spare an hour for a picnic tea at Lakey Hill. Pip enjoys the break. While Ben goes to fetch David, Josh jokes about a plan for him and Phoebe to do an unmade flower bed for the flower festival. Ruth insists he doesn't wind up Jill.

Paul opens his door and is confronted by Mikey, who he recognises from the car-park. Mikey's got a message - Paul's to stay away from Lilian Bellamy. If he doesn't, the next visit won't be so friendly. Paul's straight on the phone but gets Lilian's voicemail. He needs to see her and insists she gets to the flat on Monday morning.
