Alice gives some home truths, and Pip is left stunned.

Helen's full of praise for Tom's draft Nuffield report chapters although he's more worried about how to make the case for developing the kefir business. Helen reassures him that what he's achieved so far is really impressive, she's sure he'll get there. And whilst it's a shame she didn't win a Food and Farming award, just to have been nominated might help business. They agree a decision needs to be made on what to do with the new building.

Pip's inclined to forgive Toby for his forgetfulness over the lift home from Ruth's party. But Toby's being evasive, and later confesses to Rex the real reason for his shady mood. Later Pip and Toby discuss the sweepstake on their baby's name. Kate overhears and continues the name discussion. Needled by all the recent family secrecy, she declares loudly that she and Toby slept together at the party. Pip can't believe it. Toby's mortified. He admits to selfishness and stupidity, and his contrition softens Pip. But when she finds out it was he and Kate who broke the bouncy castle, he loses any points he'd gained with her.

Alice enrages Kate when she reveals Brian had offered her a job at the farm. Typical, explodes Kate, no-one takes her seriously and Alice is clearly the favourite. Alice advises Kate to grow up, or she'll end up sad and alone.
