Jakob has an interesting theory, and Eddie is put on the spot.

Convalescing George can’t see why Ed’s giving him a hard time when everyone else is being nice to him. Ed reminds him he did a stupid and dangerous thing – a nicotine overdose can be fatal. George downplays it, accusing Ed of overreacting. Clarrie tries to keep the peace, but when Eddie walks in it becomes clear he knew about the vaping enterprise. Ed’s furious with his dad. Eddie’s sorry, but insists he didn’t know the health risks of what George and Brad were doing. He begs Ed not to tell Emma and Will he knew what was going on. Ed won’t promise, and storms off. Clarrie gives Eddie her own brand of a telling off. She reminds him of his duty of care to his grandson, and advises him to have a good think.
Denise is canvassing opinions on the new paint colour for the vet surgery waiting room, and whilst Alistair isn’t in favour of her choice, Jakob is all for the colour she’s chosen. She’s surprised Jakob’s leapt to her defence. She confides to Alistair Adil’s suggestion at the fete that she has a secret admirer at work. She believes it’s obvious the admirer is Jakob, and it’s all very awkward. She can hardly look Kate in the eye. Alistair offers to have a chat with Jakob. Alistair cuts to the chase with Jakob, who immediately declares it’s Alistair who has the crush on Denise, not him. Alistair denies it, but Jakob points out that if even he’s noticed it, there’s definitely something going on.
