Henry surprises everyone, and Hazel issues a warning.

At the solicitor's, Hazel Woolley is eager to know who gets what from Jack's will. Jack has left Peggy the Lodge and a minority of his other investments. Hazel's the main beneficiary who receives the majority of the estate. But she's not satisfied and challenges the figures, suggesting Jack's estate has been mismanaged.

Hazel pays a research visit to the village shop and gets talking to Susan and then Peggy. Peggy makes it clear that it was Jack's decision to appoint Peggy as Executor. He took no persuading. Hazel wants things tied up soon, or she'll find a way to speed things up.

Susan has some good news to share with Emma. She's had a win on the lottery. She gives Emma a cheque. She's also given one to Christopher. Susan and Neil are planning a proper holiday. Susan tells Emma the lottery win must be a secret.

Pat's aghast when she hears Henry mention 'Daddy' Rob to Helen. Pat worries that Henry's confused. Pretending Rob is his father won't make it come true. When Pat suggests Helen is being unfair on Henry, Helen explodes. She is taking a massive step and Pat should be supportive. What kind of mother is she?
