David is determined, and Elizabeth tells Roy the truth.
Charlie helps Jill load some honey jars in her car. Although they don't agree on the road, he assures her that farmers need beekeepers like her.
Ruth hopes Charlie didn't see the guy at the bonfire. She suggests to David a trip to the NEC livestock event next week.
Charlie confronts David about the guy. He's heard rumours about it being an effigy. David innocently says that it was nothing personal. Things get heated between them.
Busy Roy tells Hayley he needs to work late. He's actually hanging around in the office in the hope of seeing Elizabeth. Businesslike but warm, Elizabeth asks about possible headline band Quaintance Smith. Roy is waiting on a call from their manager.
Elizabeth gets back to the office and Roy's still there. He notices that she has taken off her wristband. It's clearly time to move on. Elizabeth puts Roy straight. She's not going to change her life and regular routine. He should go on home to Hayley.
Roy calls Hayley and tells her the change of plan. He'll be home shortly, so can she keep that special fish pie she's made for him?
