Pawel makes himself at home. Meanwhile Pip takes charge.

Pawel turns up early to help Ian prepare the meal, so they are in high spirits by the time Adam gets home. In an unguarded aside, Adam hints to Ian he knows more than he has previously let on about Pawel's sexuality. This prompts Ian to ask Pawel directly. Subsequently Pawel makes a toast acknowledging how his naivety has led him to make mistakes. He entreats them to show him around the local gay scene. Ian agrees but Adam is not keen. A compromise is reached as they agree to go to the pickers' leaving party.
Pip has taken over at Brookfield as Ruth and David take a short holiday. Concerned Ruth calls, and is relieved to hear everything is running smoothly. 
Darrell has serious misgivings about Matt's plans for Joyce and Arthur's house at Hillside. He thinks that the problems are minor and could be remedied easily. Matt turns up. He puts additional pressure on Darrell to exaggerate the work necessary and force Joyce and Arthur to move out, or face losing his job. 
Rosa delightedly shows off her brand new scooter, which Elona has assured her they can afford. Darrell, seeing how happy she is, assures her she won't have to take it back.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
