Jolene and Lilian agree the pictures of Jakob the ‘Naughty Milkman’ are awful. Jolene suggests they’ll need to do another photo shoot. Lilian asks Jolene to break that news to him. She’s not up to it; she’s been summoned to Lynda’s later and she’s dreading it.

But Lilian’s hearfelt apology for her direct words a few weeks ago is brushed aside as Lynda declares tough love was just what she needed. They gave her a good shaking, and were the actions of a true friend. They move on to chat amiably about Lynda’s retirement from the Ambridge Christmas show. Lynda agrees with Lilian that she doesn’t have to prove herself, or see her bowing out as an admission of defeat. Lilian’s pleased, but does wonder where the show will get its impetus now.

Gavin’s horrified Kirsty’s now watching his every move, checking he’s not putting a bet on. He’s fed up of the complication and risks. Hearing them rowing, Kirsty declares to Philip he can’t keep on at Gavin, and insists he apologises to him. Philip plays along, and Gavin goes further to throw Kirsty off the scent by admitting he’s still gambling. Kirsty reassures him; they’re all in this together, he won’t have to cope alone.
