Pat's thoughts are elsewhere and Neil is insistent.

When Neil catches Susan doing Bert and Gary's washing, he's concerned again at her doing too much work for them. Despite Susan's worries for her brother and father, she agrees to call a family meeting with Tracy, Keith and Stuart to discuss the situation. 

Pat is absent-minded again as she waits with Tony for Brenda and Tom to return from their meeting about the relaunch under the Ambridge Organics brand. 

Susan is frustrated that her family is either too busy or too unreliable to help her look after her father and Gary. Despite all her problems Susan resolves that she will find a solution so everyone is doing their fair share. Pat asks again about Sharon's son Rich. 

Tom and Brenda return from their meeting. The HEFF account manager was enthusiastic about the relaunch but recommended downplaying the 'organic' theme as it's a weak selling point nowadays. The target has been delayed to January to get everything done. Although it is a blow, Tony agrees it is the right way forward. Pat consents but is preoccupied during the conversation.
