Jim digs himself a hole and Brian is rumbled.

As it's such a lovely day Brian invites Peggy out for a stroll. Peggy's keen for them to come up with a way to cheer Jennifer up, and Brian assures her that they will. When they reach The Bull Brian insists on buying her a drink, and circulates amongst the customers. The conversation is all about the Flower and Produce show, and Peggy chastises him for spending the whole time on his phone. Then she discovers that Brian's been taking notes. He's been gathering inside information to help Jennifer win as many categories as possible. Peggy agrees that it isn't technically cheating, and they continue to gather information.

Jazzer's alarmed when Alistair phones to say he'll be home early. Jazzer orders Jim to keep Alistair away while he finishes cooking for the surprise party. Jim complains about the mess he's made in the kitchen, but agrees to stall Alistair. They end up in The Bull, where Joe proudly announces that Jim owes him a pint. Bert and Cecil have fallen out already, meaning that Joe won their bet. Jim insists the stake was only a pound, but ends up buying the first round anyway. When Alistair goes to the bar Jazzer boasts that his surprise party is going to be fantastic. He dismisses Jim's cynicism. Roll on Friday!
