Has Pip found a perfect solution? Chelsea gets bossy.

Fallon admits to Pip that she’s beginning to regret her decision to appoint child judges for the perfect pudding competition – it’s been a nightmare!  Fallon’s delighted when Pip comes up with the idea of making it so that any child can be a judge, as long as they haven’t entered a pudding themselves.  Fallon says she’ll just have to make sure that all of the entries make much bigger desserts to accommodate all of the tasters!

Freddie tries to give Chelsea some constructive feedback about her first shift, but she manages to brush off all his concerns.  However she has a few pointers for him – he needs to dress more like a manager and be more authoritative as he comes across as a bit drippy.  She finishes by telling him not to worry – with a few tweaks, she’s confident he’ll get there.

Will encourages Mia about her forthcoming GCSEs; he’s sure she’ll do well.  He’d put money on her and Jake being the first in the family to go to university. In fact the whole family’s made up about it.  Later on a walk to clear her head from revising, Mia bumps into Stella with her new dog Weaver.   With gentle probing from Stella, Mia opens up about the pressure she feels under with everyone’s high expectations for her exam results.  Stella encourages her to talk about it with her family, as Mia said it had helped talking to her – a chat with someone at home might help even more.
