Justin needs a get out clause and Kate tries to come to terms with recent events.

Ahead of the first Eurovision committee meeting, Harrison tells Jolene that he knows why Justin has been getting involved in community activities. He wants to win the Borsetshire Business Angel of the Year award. When Justin arrives, he struggles to join in with Harrison and Jolene reminiscing about their favourite past Eurovision moments. Harrison emphasises the importance of fully committing to volunteer roles and he and Jolene subtly convey to Justin that they’ve rumbled him.
Justin confesses he is competing for the business angel award and admits defeat: he can’t pretend to love Eurovision. He thought he’d signed up for a Coronation committee. He goes to leave but then remembers he needs a signature to confirm his volunteering activity. Harrison and Jolene don’t think a few minutes at one meeting qualifies as proper volunteering and Justin begs them. He’s shouldered so much with his time in the shop, but he thinks Martyn may still have the edge for the award. Harrison and Jolene agree to sign off Justin’s Eurovision volunteering in exchange for a financial contribution to the community Eurovision activities.
Adam and Kate share the hurt they feel over Jennifer singling out Martha in her will. Kate can’t help feeling angry towards their mother for leaving them with something so contentious. They’re all worried about the effect it’s having on Alice. Adam and Kate talk through Jennifer’s motivations for leaving money just to Martha. They agree they need to support Alice and be grateful that Jennifer didn’t think their own children needed the money.
