Ruth has cause for concern and David attempts to offer reassurance

When Pip鈥檚 surprised to find that Ruth鈥檚 invited Stella roller-skating, Ruth explains it鈥檚 because she鈥檇 discovered that Stella鈥檚 a roller-skating diva. When they鈥檙e alone, Stella asks Pip if it鈥檚 a problem that she鈥檚 coming, but Pip鈥檚 says it鈥檚 fine. At the rink Pip鈥檚 on edge and moans to Ruth about why she invited Stella; she鈥檇 thought it was a family outing. Ruth explains it was to take Stella鈥檚 mind off losing Weaver. When Stella thinks Pip looks miserable, Pip snaps that it鈥檚 her choice to be like that. Stella skates off and Ruth wonders what on earth鈥檚 wrong with Pip - she was downright rude.
David walks in on Ben trying to fix David鈥檚 toy farm. Ben comes clean about losing his balance and falling on it. David鈥檚 calm until he discovers that some of the figures are broken too. Ben apologises, but David says the important thing is that he鈥檚 still got Phil鈥檚 gift tag. Seeing Ben鈥檚 crestfallen expression, David jokingly reassures him. It鈥檚 only stuff 鈥� demolishing his toy farm isn鈥檛 actually the end of the world. Ben just needs to focus on getting ready for uni. When Ben worries about the placements on his nursing course, David points out Ben鈥檚 support systems. Ben will be fine as long as toy animals aren鈥檛 involved! Later when Ben outlines his concerns about the B and B, Pip agrees to take over from him. Later Ruth tells David about Pip鈥檚 meltdown and rudeness to Stella earlier. She鈥檚 got no idea what鈥檚 going on with Pip.
