Kirsty is on the spot, and Jolene smells a rat.

Jolene can’t believe the Coronation Illumination has gone to Bridge Farm instead of them. With the picnic happening on the green on Saturday she reckons far more people would see the lights if they were at the Bull. Jolene susses Kenton’s lying about being disappointed when he pulls at his earlobe, a clear ‘tell’. Tracy can understand Kenton being put off by the electricity costs. She’s struggling at the moment and can’t even afford her own wedding. When Jolene offers Tracy one of her dresses for the wedding Tracy loves it. She’ll get Susan to alter it to fit.
Jolene’s suspicions grow when Kenton takes a call from Natasha. She accuses him of tipping off Natasha about the Illumination competition. When Kenton confesses his betrayal Jolene orders him to put up every string of lights they have. The Bull’s going to have its own switch-on moment.   
Kirsty asks Helen if she’ll help her represent Spain at the village Eurovision show. Helen’s not sure. She opens up to Kirsty about her intimacy problems with Lee. Later at Helen’s, Kirsty tells Helen she’s been worrying about her earlier revelation. While Kirsty’s there Harrison arrives: Rob has finally been interviewed by the police about the attempted abduction of Jack last time he was in the UK. Harrison needs them both to go over the witness statements they made at the time. Helen’s sickened by the thought of seeing Rob again in court. For Kirsty the attempted abduction is a complete blur, but Helen can remember every moment in vivid detail.
