Christening party preparations are in full swing at the Bull. Kenton and Jolene have everything in hand, soothing Mike's jangled nerves. Jolene's thoughtful touches really impress Kenton. He reckons he's the luckiest bloke in Borsetshire.

Brenda has a very awkward encounter with Tom, making her late for the christening. As edgy Mike greets Vicky and Bethany, and Brenda finally arrives, the excited family go in. Afterwards, amid the melee of photographs and congratulations, Mike comments to Neil that whilst his milk round's lost some regulars, he's gained a few new customers; Ed was right when he maintained there's a market for quality food. Vicky scolds Mike for talking shop. It's contagious though, and later Hayley fumes to Neil that Josh has booked three more farmers' markets without checking with her. Philosophical Neil calms her down. Josh'll just have to cancel them; losing his deposit will teach him not to do it again!

Mike notices Brenda's quiet. After some coaxing she confides that the chance meeting with Tom brought everything back. And it's going to keep happening. Brenda doesn't want to spoil the day though, and as the bubbly's passed round the guests all raise their glasses to Bethany.
