It's been quiet in the shop lately so Helen doesn't see the point in Pat advertising for a replacement for Colin at Bridge Farm. She could help cover, and Clarrie would certainly appreciate some extra hours. Pat thinks it's great to have the family so involved.

Helen's concerned that Annette is getting too attached to Jazzer. Tom thinks Jazzer's getting more serious as he's mentioned taking Annette out on his day off.

Tom's getting romantic himself. He's planned a champagne picnic for Brenda to celebrate the end of her student life. First they have to listen to Kenton's plans to turn Jaxx into a café-bar. Brenda thinks it sounds great, especially his ideas for cocktails.

Tom finally gets Brenda away. She thinks they're going for a pizza, so Tom's real plans are a lovely surprise. As they drift down the Am in a rowing boat, Brenda praises his romantic nature. But it all goes a bit wobbly when he opens the champagne and loses an oar in the water. As he struggles to row with one oar, Brenda shrieks at him to be careful. They both laugh. Brenda can see where he, or maybe both of them, are likely to end up.
