Jill wants to be heard, and Roy is adamant action must be taken.

Phoebe is struggling to get up early for work. Roy reminds her firmly she needs to earn the money in order to go travelling. Later, Roy drops off her phone, and asks after Lexi. Phoebe's uneasy about Lexi's decision not to report racist graffiti on one of the caravans to Adam. But if she won't, Roy will.
David books a table at Grey Gables to celebrate thirty years since Ruth started working at Brookfield. 

Jill and Kirsty are part of a group protesting against food waste at a PR event for the Duxford sisters' new restaurant in Borchester. Jill offers around a tin of flapjacks to everyone, including Harrison, who is on duty. Harrison moves the protest further away from the event. In frustration at not being heard Jill encourages the protest to move forward. Harrison tries to hold them back and Jill ends up throwing a flapjack which unfortunately hits Lulu Duxford in the eye. She encourages the others to throw more which leads to Harrison arresting her. 

David collects Jill from the police station. She has been let off with a caution. David points out the irony of throwing flapjacks to protest against food waste. After 86 blameless years Jill has got herself a criminal record.
