Chelsea has her guard up, and Lilian reveals some interesting coronation plans.

Susan disapproves of Den being back in touch, warning Chelsea not to get her hopes up. As Susan asks Chelsea to sign the petition against the EV charging station, Stella enters the shop. She likes the look of the plans for the station. When Chelsea learns there could be a job for her there, she holds off signing the petition until she knows more. 
Den apologises for how he was when Brad and Oliver visited – he was in a bad place. Den explains, having turned fifty he’s realised he’s been wasting his life. He’d like to get to know Chelsea and Brad. Den is floored when Chelsea reveals she had a termination. Brad delivers another blow when he says he doesn’t want to see Den more regularly. Den admits to Chelsea that he’s lonely. He wonders if Chelsea would visit him occasionally, but she says no. She’s standing by her brother – they’ve got each other’s back on this. 
Lilian offers to buy Susan a drink to make up for the trouble Justin caused by volunteering in the shop. They turn down Kenton’s Coronation-inspired cocktails and the three of them discuss the village’s Coronation and Eurovision plans. Justin is putting on a light show to mark the Coronation, but he’s yet to choose a venue. Kenton twigs that Justin’s using the money he originally promised to the Eurovision celebrations and immediately rules out The Bull as venue for Justin’s illuminations. Stella comments that Susan is now praising Justin after disparaging him in the shop earlier.
