Jolene despairs when she realises that Lilian's Pancake Day plans are going to mean a lot of extra work for her and Sid. She tells Sid to go to the Dower House to ask Matt if he's planning on trying to patch things up with Lilian. Sid finds Matt defiant, insistent that he's the wronged party, and refusing to make amends with Lilian. Sid breaks the bad news to Jolene - who fears that the pub isn't big enough for both her and Lilian...

At the pub, Brian extends his sympathies over the Perks' new houseguest. Adam is delighted when Brian tells him that he's handing over the anaerobic digester project to him, Debbie, Ruth and David as their own enterprise. At first, Adam suspects a catch - but Brian assures him that the offer is transparent.

Matt shows delighted Pip his new skylark plots. She's happy to have 'convinced' him of the error of his ways, and Matt surprises her by saying that he's impressed by her spark. Later, Pip goes to see Ruth in hospital. Ruth is touched by the visit: and Pip assures her mother that she's glad she had the reconstruction operation - if it makes her happy.
