Jill gets in the driving seat and Ben expresses his emotions.

Excited Beth鈥檚 looking forward to thrashing Ben at the race track. Distracted Ben seems nervous to Jill but plays it down. In the car with the instructor Ben makes a start but soon pulls into the pit lane. Beth checks on him but he insists he鈥檚 ok, just out of breath.
Beth talks about race cars, and Leonard gets nostalgic. Beth compliments him on his motoring knowledge. She suggests to Ben that she donates one of her drives to him, but Ben jumps in and offers his own. Leonard鈥檚 overjoyed and can鈥檛 believe he gets to drive. Jill comments on the generosity of Ruairi鈥檚 gift.
Jill lets slip to Beth she was aware of Ben鈥檚 nerves. Beth insists to Jill that Ben had no need to act brave for her; he鈥檚 so courageous in other areas. Jill suggests she share some of that praise with him.
Beth confronts Ben about pretending not to be scared 鈥 she tells him all she wants is for him to be honest. Ben admits that David and Ruth鈥檚 accident affected his confidence. They become closer and end up saying 鈥淚 love you鈥 鈥 before wondering who鈥檚 in the car instead of Beth.
Jill鈥檚 taken her chance to try a bit of racing herself 鈥 in the passenger seat with the instructor. As they speed along, thrilled Jill is up for one more lap! The instructor compliments Leonard鈥檚 skills too. Inspired, Leonard offers to whizz Jill around the Hassett Hills. But for now, sensible Ben insists he鈥檚 driving them home.
