Anna gives Helen another option, and Lilian is in her element.

Jennifer helps Lilian choose what to wear for the Borchester Food and Drink Awards. Lilian has had a call from Helen and they have arranged a time for Lilian to visit. She tells Jennifer that Helen is sounding much more like herself.

Helen phones Anna and they both admit their nerves at last week's FHDRA. Anna suggests she doesn't have to represent Helen if she's not happy with their rapport but Helen doesn't want Anna to give up on her. Anna makes it clear she needs to build her case.

At the Awards, Justin wishes Jennifer and Pat an enjoyable evening and goes to find Lilian. Pat and Jennifer wonder why Justin is still around now Route B has been ruled out. Lilian joins them flustered by the requests of Miranda's friends. Miranda comes over to have a word with Lilian who appears to be mesmerised by Miranda's dress. Lilian insists Miranda must change immediately as the mayor's wife will be wearing the same dress.

Ian wins the award for Haute Cuisine and Pat, Jennifer and Lilian talk over the applause; The Bull won the Family Dining category. Lower Loxley's wine, Upper Class Eggs and the Tearoom all missed out on awards. Justin announces the final award of the evening - Best Artisan Product goes to Helen Titchener. Pat says it will mean a lot to Helen and collects the award on her behalf.
