Tony and Lilian keep secrets.

Adam delivers the bad news to David that Ambridge Heat & Power is unlikely to get a food handling licence. Ruth agrees with them that it's time to wind up their plans.

Tony wants Jennifer to ask Brian to make sure Borchester Land look fairly on their increased offer for the farm. Jennifer points out that Brian doesn't have much to do with the property portfolio.

Ruth tells David that Izzy might be pregnant. Pip's disapproval has caused a huge falling out and Pip's really upset. David's more concerned at the realisation that Pip's growing up fast - what if the same thing happened to her?

Emma's done a great cleaning job at Brookfield. David and Ruth are pleased that she and Ed have settled in well at Rickyard Cottage.

Peggy's having trouble seeing on her right side, and Jack's having trouble settling in at the Dower House. The family appreciates how difficult it's been for Peggy all this time, but are in agreement that they need to find somewhere that can offer respite care. They know this will worry Peggy, so agree that the kindest thing to do is say nothing until they've found a suitable place.
