Rob does Pip a favour, while Kenton is feeling low.

Carol shows Peggy her new wigwams, made up by Bert, who's finding gardening therapeutic. Carol's also meeting Hilary Noakes, who wants to talk herb gardens. Bert's keen to wait until the Bull garden is tidier before planting a rose in Freda's memory.
Peggy knows that Kenton and Jolene are feeling the pinch. Kenton has had to let Callum go from the Bull. Lilian's also under pressure, running Amside alone. Peggy's not keen on Lilian's new hairstyle (a typical temporary fix).
Peggy didn't know that the Fairbrother boys were in Ambridge. Peggy and Carol discuss Elizabeth's relationship with Robin Fairbrother - also, Carol's marriage to Charles Grenville. 
Kenton Skyped his daughter Meriel to wish her happy birthday. He feels a failure, having planned to start a college fund and pay for Meriel to come over to stay one day.
Pip gets some advice from Rob as she prepares for her job interview. He shows her round the dairy at Berrow and makes a point about managing people which Pip notes with interest.
The bar suppliers have agreed to extend Kenton and Jolene's credit on wine and glassware for a month. Jolene implores depressed Kenton to find the positive spirit he usually has. Kenton's angry to know that David rang. Jolene supports him - if he doesn't want to reply that's fine with her.
