David faces a tricky situation, and Susan isn’t taking no for an answer.

Tracy’s helping Susan at a car boot sale. Susan asks if she’s ready for Wednesday, her ‘real’ marriage day. Tracy confirms she’s checked the Register Office booking so there’s not much else to do. Susan reckons there’ll still be a lot of organising. Who’s looking after the rings? And they’ll definitely need another cake. Tracy suggests a Tearoom leftover, and declares they can just wear the same clothes as last time. Susan thinks it's a shame Tracy doesn’t think she deserves nice things. Susan starts to pack up her stall – she wants to help Tracy sort things out.
Ruth and David are grateful for Pip’s help clearing up the barn after a wedding event. Ruth goes back to the house, and David notices Pip’s not herself. She snaps at him and he asks if everything’s ok. He wonders if Toby’s upset her, but she insists she’s fine. David persists, and Pip confesses she feels bad about leading Toby on. She has feelings for someone else and used him, and now she might have messed things up with both of them. She tells her dad the other person’s a woman. David can’t hide his surprise but is glad she’s told him. He suggests Pip lets the woman know that she’s got feelings for her. Later David updates Ruth on the situation with Toby, and Ruth squeezes out the rest of the detail from him. She’s glad Pip confided in him, and relieved that they know now what’s troubling her. It must be someone pretty great if Pip’s this mixed up about them.
