Jazzer is confident of success while Roy feels apprehensive.

It's the day of the Flower and Produce Show and Jim, Oliver and Jazzer have all submitted entries in the men-only breadmaking class. Caroline is at the event on Oliver's behalf as he is away. Caroline and Jim are surprised that Jazzer knows how to make bread. 

Jazzer and Jim are both disappointed when Oliver wins. It transpires that Jazzer has made his entry in a bread maker and has been disqualified. Jim's authentic Roman effort is later awarded 'Most Interesting Entry' by the judges.

Brenda and Roy are dreading Sunday lunch with Mike and Vicky. The rest of the family have various other commitments. When they arrive at Willow Farm, cheerful Vicky tells them that Mike is busy painting the baby's bedroom. 

They later view the finished room and Brenda compliments Vicky on her choice of pink. Vicky is bursting with decorating ideas and Brenda offers to book time off work so that she can help her. 

Vicky wants to tell people about the baby's Down's syndrome and Mike agrees reluctantly. Roy jokes that Mike will be outnumbered in a houseful of girls, and offers to take him fishing to give him some tips. Preoccupied, Mike says maybe.
