There is news for Helen and Rob, and Pip drops a bombshell.

Dan's enjoying time off from Sandhurst but raring to get back to training in May. Pip's close to handing in her dissertation and looks forward to going out to a gig with Dan as distraction.

Dan's concerned about where people will go to vote for the General Election, as the village hall is still out of action. He discusses politics with Pip. They also talk about Dr Locke, who Dan will be meeting again for the first time since he was little. Shula thinks that without Richard's support, Dan might not have turned out so well.

Rob gets the letter with the paternity test result. He stays cool as he reads that he's not the father of Jess's baby, pointing out what a complete waste of time it has all been. Rob's now keen to push through with his divorce and start wedding planning with Helen.
Ruth and David enjoy some Lower Loxley wine but Kenton still has a bitter taste in his mouth. He's being difficult with David about David's role on the flood committee.
Pip shocks David and Ruth with her plan to apply for a job abroad. It's Technical Manager for an international livestock company. Well that came out of the blue, says Ruth. David agrees.
