Johnny is left devastated and Leonard has the rug pulled from under him

It’s stir-up Sunday and Leonard practises his moving proposal speech to Pip, who thinks it’s perfect. She leaves Leonard and Jill alone in the kitchen together to make the pudding. They chat as Leonard stirs the pudding, but suddenly he stops and tells Jill he’s got something to say. Before he can launch into his speech, Jill stops him. She loves Leonard very much, but she doesn’t want to marry him. Relieved, they return to making the pudding. Leonard does have one more proposal though… 
Jill breaks the news to David that she and Leonard will be spending Christmas at a restaurant with Leonard’s son, Simon. David assures her they’ll miss her, but will be thinking of both of them.
Lily and Phoebe hover outside The Bull, as Lily’s not sure she can face seeing Bella. Johnny arrives and insists on apologising to Lily for his outburst. They consider the fight forgotten. Back at Bridge Farm, Johnny makes Bella a special lunch to prove his love for her. Bella asks him to stop pretending that everything’s alright – it’s over between them. Johnny is so different from the person he was when they first got together. She assures him the kiss with Josh had nothing to do with it. Shocked and angry to discover he cheated with her friend, Johnny smashes a glass and tells her to get out.
