Elizabeth and Nigel spot Pip and Jude waiting for a table at the gastropub in Loxley Barratt and decide to join them. Elizabeth thinks that Jude seems nice but Pip thinks it's a pity that her parents don't seem to think so. Elizabeth explains that most parents don't like their daughters going out with older men. Phil wasn't too happy when she first started dating Nigel, who is eight years older than her. Pip's surprised to learn that Nigel had dated Shula first.

Later Elizabeth remarks to Nigel that if David's not careful he'll end up driving Pip away.
