Elizabeth is trying to help, and Chris could use a favour.

Elizabeth tells Ben she’s concerned about him.  She thinks that what Vince has done is completely wrong and she’s told him so.  But it’s because Vince is upset about Beth.  Ben says he doesn’t blame Vince.  Elizabeth unwittingly reveals to Ben that Vince has asked for his loan back for the solar panels.
David and Ruth discuss options to pay back the loan.  Things get a bit heated and Ben walks in on them arguing.  When he asks whether it’s to do with paying back the loan, they realise he knows.  Ben asks why they didn’t tell him, because it’s all his fault.  David says they were going to tell him once they’d found a solution.
Elizabeth apologises to David and Ruth for telling Ben. She says Vince is behaving like a spoiled brat at the moment.  Ben announces he’ll sort the loan by giving up his course and getting a job.  Later David and Ruth agree they can’t let him do that. They have to pay off the loan, and quickly.
Chris tells Alice a couple from Penny Hassett want to look around the cottage today; they’re hoping to rent it.   Alice offers to be there too so that Chris doesn’t get taken advantage of.  Afterwards they laughingly agree that the couple wouldn’t make good tenants.  They’re interrupted by Jakob asking to come and view the cottage too.  Alice warns Chris not to let Jakob push him around.  Later after pinning down all of Chris’s responsibilities, Jakob tells Chris he may consider himself a landlord in waiting.
