Lilian has picked up some inside information.

Lilian has picked up some inside information and Elizabeth lays down the law.

Lilian needs to talk business with Brian, and explains that two supermarkets are interested in developing the old market site. She wants to hurry up the works being carried out, by paying the contractors more. Brian knows that Matt is her mysterious source, and he'd need hard facts before such a request could be put to the board. 

Jennifer reminds Adam to ask Ian over for lunch, and tells him that she's had inspiration for her book club choice.

Lilian joins Jennifer for coffee and asks about a book on the table. Jennifer explains that it is her choice for the book club. Lilian is shocked that she's picked such a racy title.

Shula tries to get through to Elizabeth, but Elizabeth's determined never to have anything to do with David again. Shula points out the difficult position this puts the rest of the family in, but Elizabeth doesn't see it that way. She's sickened by David's lies, and now everyone is blaming Nigel rather than forcing David to accept responsibility for daring him to go on the roof in the first place. Elizabeth refuses to let Shula speak on David's behalf, and if Shula carries on they'll be finished too.
