Jill tries to persuade the family to have dinner at The B at Ambridge to show their support to Kenton and Jolene. Josh is reluctant; he feels the whole village is talking about him. Jill reminds him he’s not the only member of the family who’s been on the wrong side of the law. Besides, how can Josh be worried about people staring at him when the pub is so empty?
Pip attempts peace talks with Rex and offers him use of the Brookfield trailer at any time, but he’s not in a forgiving mood. Josh assures Rex it’ll all blow over soon, and then he’ll have plenty of work again. Rex lets rip. He declares he’ll never work for Josh again. That includes the egg business; he wants paying out for his wages, the trailer, and the eggs by the end of the month.
Jolene’s feeling really under the weather. She and Kenton are concerned by how empty the pub is. It’s made them appreciate the importance of the locals. They acknowledge Jill’s meal was a success. Kenton hopes it will all be worth it in the end. Tentatively, he broaches the subject of Eccles, and Jolene assures him all is forgiven.
