Lilian makes a move, and Jim throws down the gauntlet.

Brian's sympathetic to Lilian but the idea of her moving in fills him with dread, what with Kate and Phoebe there already. Brian sounds off to Robert and Jim, mentioning that Jennifer will be interviewed on Radio Borsetshire about her SAVE blog. Jim wonders what Lynda will make of that.

Johnny's surprised and delighted to have passed his GCSE Maths and English retakes. He tells Neil as they work in the rain. Tom comes to help and there's clearly a bit of tension from Neil, who can't help making his feelings clear about Tom's choice of location for the pigs - Tom seemed to have his mind made up.

Brian helps Lilian pack her things. She is emotional but determined not to let Matt defeat her. Brian's aghast at the amount of clothing Lilian has to pack, but weakly tells Lilian she must make herself at home.

Jim and Robert enjoy some bird spotting. They realize they have the same book - Bird of Borsetshire - with a check list at the back. Following a minor difference of opinion about getting 'expert' help (Jim has a phone app and Robert relied on Patrick Hennessy for a particular spot), they agree to keep each other informed of their own progress. Accepting this subtle challenge, the two men agree it's just a bit of fun.
