Joe gives Carol a tour of the cider shed.

Joe gives Carol a tour of the cider shed and learns some news.

David asks Jill whether she'd consider accompanying them north to view their latest farm prospect next week. Jill's unsure. She confides to Peggy that she feels she should go; Ruth and David are trying so hard to make her feel included. Peggy admits she'd be heartbroken if Jill left. Jill assures her she's had plenty of offers of accommodation if she decides to stay in Ambridge. Carol joins them, and Jill canvasses their opinion as to whether they agree Susan and Clarrie are behaving strangely at the moment and asking odd questions. Peggy and Carol start to cover, but then decide Jill needs to know the truth about Elizabeth and Roy.

Proud Joe shows Carol the newly tidied cider shed. Carol shows a polite interest in Eddie's upcoming 'interactive exhibition', but her real interest lies in tasting the cider. She concedes it's excellent; Joe should consider marketing it. John would have loved it. They reminisce for a while, and Carol lets slip that David and Ruth may have to sell up. Joe can't believe it. Slightly the worse for drink he heads over to Brookfield to express his sympathies, He's in full flow to Ruth and David when Jill walks in. It's too much for her, and she rushes out in tears.
