Kenton makes an effort and Lynda has an inspired idea for the fete.

Tom's pleased that Brenda has been allowed to leave work early, but disappointed she has to help at a catering conference in Felpersham tomorrow. He was hoping they'd have some time to brainstorm the new veal and ham pies. He wonders if he can meet his costs. Now that he's seen the figures he's realised how much extra work and expense it will take, including extra staffing. Brenda encourages Tom to find out about the size of the market before worrying. 

Jill and Ruth are waiting for Lynda and Jim to discuss preparations for the fete. They discuss Pip's future, Josh's interest with the bees, and the great feedback from his chestnut soup video. When the others arrive, Lynda reveals she has a perfect idea for the fete's centrepiece. 

As Kathy is preparing dinner, Kenton is hurt when she discourages him from attending the scattering of Sid's ashes on Sunday. Kathy tells him not to bother. She and Jamie have got used to propping each other up, she says, cruelly reminding Kenton he's not part of Sid's family.
