There鈥檚 an unexpected guest at Brookfield, and the green-eyed monster strikes for Jill.

At Brookfield, David and Ruth recover from their car accident. Despite still feeling sore and nursing their injuries, they both admit they would rather be helping Pip out on the farm, in the cold and rain, than be stuck indoors 鈥� despite being waited on hand and foot by Leonard and Jill. David advises Ruth to relax; they need to trust Pip and Josh to look after things.
Pip and Josh get stuck into farm work, and by the end of the day, they鈥檝e managed to work as a team and they share their list of tomorrow鈥檚 tasks. Josh mentions that the garage thinks Ruth and David鈥檚 car might be a write off.
Beth asks Pip if Iris can visit David and Ruth 鈥� Iris feels terrible that they crashed coming home from Vince鈥檚 party. Beth will come too 鈥� she wants to see how Ben鈥檚 getting on with his nursing placement.
Later, Jill鈥檚 edgy when Iris and Leonard discuss their mutual love of bonsai trees. Beth notices Jill鈥檚 looking annoyed and asks if she鈥檚 ok. Jill says she鈥檚 fine 鈥� she just doesn鈥檛 share the same passion for bonsais as Iris. And Leonard鈥檚 never mentioned this interest to her before. When Beth says Iris is just being friendly, Jill retorts she couldn鈥檛 have sat any closer to Leonard if she鈥檇 tried! Beth becomes defensive and Jill apologises. As she鈥檚 leaving, Iris says it was a pleasure to meet Leonard and he replies the pleasure was all his. Iris invites him over to look at her bonsais whenever he wants.
