Pip keeps things going, and Jolene and Kenton have a mountain to climb.

Kenton and Jolene get bad news from the insurers - they have to cover repairs to the foundations before other work can take place. It'll cost them a fortune and it seems to spell the end for the Bull. Jolene's also worried about poor Ruth, as she finds out about Heather. Jill thanks Jolene for helping to persuade Kenton to come to the birthday party on Sunday.

David and Ruth are stuck up in Prudhoe so will have to miss the party - and postpone Pip's results celebration. Heather had a fall at her house. Ruth feels so guilty - Heather wouldn't have tried to leave if she wasn't so frightened of going into care. Pip reassures Ruth, and decides to go ahead with the interviews for a contract milker, with Jill by her side and an agency person there to advise and consult with. Pip makes her decision - a guy called Matthew. Jill's full of praise for Pip, who once again has kept things going (just like she did during the flood). Jill surprises Pip by opening some fizz and makes a little toast to Pip - they're really going to miss her.
