Jim finds himself out of his comfort zone and the race for illumination hots up.
Chelsea admires The Bull鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 come over to Bridge Farm to work through some admin, confessing to Pat she鈥檚 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鈥檚 just busy and sleep-deprived. Natasha fills in Helen on the Coronation Illumination bid. Helen thinks it鈥檚 a great idea, despite Pat鈥檚 concern over having people wander around the farm in the dark.
Jim lets Chelsea know there鈥檚 going to be a public meeting to discuss the planned Electric Vehicle Charging Station. But Chelsea says she鈥檚 going to step down from Jim鈥檚 anti-charging station committee now she knows there鈥檚 potential for her to get a job there. Chelsea changes the subject to last night鈥檚 draw for the Ambridge Eurovision show. She can鈥檛 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 鈥� she can鈥檛 wait to see what he comes up with!
