Jill smells a rat, and Hannah is on the warpath.

Emma tries to chat to Hannah about the affordable housing campaign, but gets a lecture about using her position as a parish councillor to her own advantage. Emma figures out why Hannah's so angry - her name is also down for an affordable home! Later, Emma asks Susan why she made Neil interfere - Hannah could make life very difficult for them now. But Susan can't see what's wrong with using Neil's influence to give the family a helping hand.

Robin arrives at Brookfield hoping for a chat with Jill, but she deftly avoids him. Instead, he joins David bringing the cows in for milking, then lures him back to the farmhouse with a bottle of fine port. As David gets steadily drunker, Robin steers the conversation round to Toby. He pretends to have serious concerns with Toby's ability to commit as a father, and tricks David into defending him. Somehow, David ends up saying that Toby isn't such a bad lad - they should all give him a chance.

David finally escapes to bed, and Jill finds Robin alone in the kitchen. She curtly declines the port, and informs him that his charm isn't fooling her. She saw through him a long time ago. Robin suddenly decides he's in danger of missing his taxi, and hurries out of the house.
