Lilian has her eyes on the prize while Josh wants to have his cake and eat it.

Josh and Ben wind each other up over the cake Beth鈥檚 making for their gran鈥檚 birthday. Ben鈥檚 convinced Josh will lose his bet, while Josh reckons Beth鈥檚 in danger of blotting her copybook with Jill, especially since Jill liked Beth鈥檚 predecessor Evie so much. The finished cake is stunning, but in the anxiety whipped up by the moment Ben drops it on the floor. At first Beth鈥檚 furious, but the situation鈥檚 remedied when it transpires Jill tasted a piece of undamaged cake and declared it delicious. Beth鈥檚 also pleased Jill鈥檚 stopped calling her Evie. Josh concedes he鈥檚 lost the bet, and he pays Beth the agreed stake money.
As Justin watches Lilian bake, they chat about Blake鈥檚 departure and the situation between Alice and Chris. When Lilian mentions they鈥檙e getting divorced Justin鈥檚 quick to pounce on the financial implications for Home Farm. Lilian agrees it鈥檚 tricky, and divulges that Brian and Jennifer are considering selling up. Justin lunches with Stella. We discover they know one another, and that it was Justin who tipped Stella off about the job at Home Farm. He gives her the heads up that BL will be looking to make efficiencies in Adam鈥檚 wake. He drops the bombshell that Brian may sell up, and suggests Stella have another look at the workings of the farm. Later when Lilian stresses the importance of confidentiality regarding Home Farm, Justin assures her his lips are sealed, and he鈥檚 all done for today. Now he just needs to sit back and relax.
