Ian makes a surprising decision and Fallon doesn’t know where to turn.
Proud Jolene takes her hoped for prize-winning apple and cheese pie out of the oven, only for Kenton to tease about his pie taking the honours at the Flower and Produce Show instead. They are both suspicious about getting baking tips from other people, before agreeing not to involve anyone else. Kenton is still convinced he’s going to win, though.
Jolene goes to check on Fallon, who’s overwhelmed at the Tearoom. As they clear the backlog Fallon admits she no longer cares about the Tearoom, now that she’s pitching for the Charging Station café. And she doesn’t care if Bridge Farm find out. However, Fallon admits, if Harrison stays part-time at work, there’s no point in pitching.
As Tracy and Kenton coo over the Bull’s new kitten, Tracy delicately asks if Emma could do some shifts at the pub. But it’s a clear “no”. They also talk Flower and Produce entries, but when Tracy mentions Jazzer’s enormous sunflower she’s perturbed by Kenton talking about the one Pip has found at Brookfield. Kenton also tries to get some baking tips from Ian.
Tracy then watches over Xander for Ian. Grateful Ian reports back about contacting Xander’s teacher, admitting he still doesn’t really know how Xander feels about school. Tracy’s encouraging though, calling Ian brave for taking on a party for Xander’s birthday and inviting the whole class. She then mentions Jazzer fuming about the sunflower. He’ll have to give it up and let Rosie win. Tracy wishes Ian luck for the PTA meeting tomorrow, but she still thinks he’s bonkers for taking it on.
