Pip plays a game of avoidance at Brookfield.

Susan's delighted when Peggy offers her a month's salary on top of her redundancy as a token of appreciation for Susan's hard work and the difficult situation she's been in. Later Susan tells Ruth she should have known Peggy wouldn't let her down.

David's not happy when Pip's late home for tea and despairs when she texts saying she and Jude are not coming after all. Jude's car's broken down. Ruth and David agree that Pip's bottled it but Ruth cautions against confronting Pip. They're just going to have to be a bit cleverer about it.

Lilian visits Matt in prison. He's irritated when she suggests sending a condolence card to Paul; he's never met the bloke. When Lilian points out they share a mother, Matt says she was only his mother in a technical sense. Matt worries about his impending confiscation hearings. They could take everything. When Lilian says she's got more than enough for both of them, Matt says he doesn't want her money, but it means the world to him that she's offered. He's lucky to have her.

Later, Paul texts Lilian to say his Mum's funeral is next Thursday. Lilian wonders to herself what she's supposed to do about it.

Episode written by Mary Cutler.
