David steps in to help, and the fashion show is thrown into chaos.

Ambridge is reeling after the dog attack on Kenton. Jolene remains by his side in hospital. David arrives to offer support but both Kenton and Jolene are shell-shocked and struggling to remember exactly what happened. Jolene tells him Kenton had to have a blood transfusion and is on an antibiotic drip in case of infection. At The Bull, Harrison goes to review the CCTV footage, only to find that there is no video for that day owing to the electricians turning off the power. When Kenton and Jolene are told this they are still too traumatised to take it in. Despite the attack, Kenton insists that the fashion show must go on. David offers to take Jolene home. She’s reluctant to go and a still-terrified Kenton begs her not to leave - but David insists.

At the Dower House Susan and Chelsea have come to pick up Lilian’s donations. Before she leaves Lilian tells them to let themselves out when they’ve finished. Chelsea comments to Susan how she can’t cope with Brad moping over Mia. As they start looking through the clothes they get carried away, wondering what it would be like to own and wear such beautiful things. The temptation is too great and they are trying them on when Lilian returns unexpectedly. Far from being angry, she is just glad to see her clothes being worn - coming alive again rather than being stuck in a box. Lillian comments that, with Kenton in hospital, the show has lost its senior male model again. Chelsea tells them that she and Brad have an idea.
