Helen is on a mission, and Jim hatches a plan.

Jim thinks Alistair is being short changed. Shula wants the divorce but it's Alistair who has had to move out and who is being blamed for the break up. Alistair soon comes round to Jim's argument. After an unproductive conversation with Shula, Alistair decides to fight his corner, starting by calling his solicitor. Meanwhile Jim worries about Alistair's state of mind and that he might start gambling again. He decides to treat Alistair to a piano lesson with Kiki. Alistair is good but complains that it brings back bad memories of lessons as a child.

Tom reminds Hannah that she agreed to go to nets that evening. Tom arrives at practice with news that Peppa Pig won another rosette. Hannah remarks that the price Ed would get for the prize-winning ram would help towards a new home on the Beechwood development. She thinks Emma and Neil are abusing their parish council positions so Emma can buy one of the houses.

At Bridge Farm Tom tells Pat about Natasha's business know how. Helen wants help taste-testing the Borsetshire Blue. She and Pat agree that the quality has dropped. They decide Helen will have to review the details of every batch if she wants to find out what's gone wrong.
