A warning from Chris to Jakob that a family dinner at Home Farm could be imminent turns to prophecy as Kate calls with an invitation. She promises it will be a once only event. He should just be himself. Oh, and baby Xander will be there too. Chris regales Jakob with some cautionary tales about Jennifer’s exacting standards and Brian’s snobbery, and advises him on topics to avoid.
Alf and Eddie visit Carmen Benson, Gaz's mum. It’s clear they have the right person as she is obviously familiar with Tumble Tussock cider. They update her on the news about Joe, and she invites them in. Eddie favours the softly, softly approach, but Alf ploughs straight in. He establishes Carmen and Joe weren’t having an affair, but that they definitely had a connection. As to the potential 'fortune', the brothers are disappointed to find it's just a recipe for a hangover cure. Eddie wants to put an end to searching for legacies that don't exist. Alf can't believe he's just giving up. But Eddie's keen to have the focus on making sure Joe gets the send-off he deserves.
