Jim finds himself out of his comfort zone and the race for illumination hots up.

Chelsea admires The Bull’s efforts for the Coronation, while Kenton struggles with some bunting. Next to watch Kenton at work are Jim and Natasha. Jim vows to avoid all festivities marking the Coronation. Natasha managed to pitch Bridge Farm last week for Justin’s Coronation Illumination project. She thinks her pitch went well, what with King Charles being an organic farming pioneer, but Justin is yet to announce the winner.
Helen’s come over to Bridge Farm to work through some admin, confessing to Pat she’s uncomfortable being home alone right now. She asks Pat to babysit tomorrow so she can have an evening together with Lee. Helen feels guilty about neglecting Lee recently. When Natasha joins them Pat asks if everything is alright with Tom. Natasha says he’s just busy and sleep-deprived. Natasha fills in Helen on the Coronation Illumination bid. Helen thinks it’s a great idea, despite Pat’s concern over having people wander around the farm in the dark.
Jim lets Chelsea know there’s going to be a public meeting to discuss the planned Electric Vehicle Charging Station. But Chelsea says she’s going to step down from Jim’s anti-charging station committee now she knows there’s potential for her to get a job there. Chelsea changes the subject to last night’s draw for the Ambridge Eurovision show. She can’t believe Jim got Greece. Horrified Jim insists he never entered the draw and will have a word with Harrison. But Chelsea thinks Jim would go down a storm – she can’t wait to see what he comes up with!
