Shula plays peacemaker, and Kate shares something personal.

Shula reports to Caroline that her paranoid twin Kenton is convinced that the family is plotting against him - he's angry about the village fete being relocated from the Green to Lower Loxley this year. Jill's getting very worried.

Kenton and Kate both feel like grabbing their backpacks and abandoning Ambridge. Both feel like pariahs - Kate's daughter Phoebe hates her, and Kenton's is on the other side of the world.
Aware that she's possibly the only sibling against whom Kenton doesn't hold a grudge, Shula gets Kenton to talk to her. He talks about his rivalry with David from when they were kids. Kenton opens up about his and Jolene's money problems - he built her hopes up around the sale of Brookfield and now they're facing ruin. Shula's firm but sympathetic - there's nothing they can do about Brookfield.

Oliver and Caroline are suffering negative reviews for Grey Gables. They've had one glowing review from a 'long term resident', which they've been accused of planting. Caroline suspects it was from a Grundy. Oliver suggests to Caroline a nice long holiday to get away from it all - how about Tuscany?

Kate has promised to keep what she knows about Phoebe and Alex secret. But as Jennifer insists on knowing what's going on between Kate and Phoebe, Kate can't help revealing that she caught them having sex.

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