It's a day of memories in Ambridge and Roy tries to make Kate listen.

It would have been Nigel's birthday today. Trying to carry on as normal, Elizabeth goes on a course with Roy. He tells Elizabeth about the possibility of Phoebe living in South Africa. He feels stuck in the middle between Phoebe and Hayley. Elizabeth admits that although it's none of her business, she agrees with Hayley. On the way back Elizabeth's relieved when conversation turns to Nigel and she gets the chance to talk about him.

Later Roy tells Kate they've still not decided whether Phoebe should go to South Africa and are concerned about her schooling. Kate stresses that Phoebe will be going to a good school but her real education will be outside the school. Roy says he won't promise anything yet. They are a long way from a decision.

On the anniversary of Sid's death, Kenton takes Jolene out to take her mind off things. They reminisce about Sid's sudden death, and the funny times too. Jolene tells Kenton that the fact she can talk about him shows how far she's come with Kenton and Fallon's help. Later, Kenton suggests he keep Jolene company overnight at The Bull. She says she's fine, but that Elizabeth may need a nightcap and a listening ear.
