Pat gets teary while discussing Flower and Produce preparations with Usha. The event reminds her of Jennifer. With the reappearance of Helen鈥檚 eating disorder, Pat really feels the absence of her sister-in-law. Usha comforts her. Helen momentarily joins them and afterwards Pat worries that Helen overheard them talking. Usha assures her that Helen wouldn鈥檛 have heard.
Helen鈥檚 pleasantly surprised to hear from Ian that Grey Gables wants to make a regular cheese order. Ian suggests going to the pub to celebrate. Over their drinks, Helen apologises for rigging the cheese competition. Ian tells her to forget about it 鈥� she鈥檚 been through a lot and deserves a break. Helen鈥檚 still waiting to hear from her solicitor about Rob鈥檚 appeal. She鈥檚 on edge every time the phone rings.
Paul鈥檚 unimpressed with Josh鈥檚 birthday plan 鈥� a drink at The Bull with a few relatives. After Paul presses him to do something bigger, Josh agrees that Paul can invite those who are coming to the pub to see a mate鈥檚 band in Felpersham. Once at the venue, Josh is glad Paul forced him to go. He really likes the music as well as the girl playing the violin. Paul encourages him to approach her but Josh doesn鈥檛 want to make a fool of himself. When they get home Paul suggests Josh books the band for the Harvest Supper 鈥� then he could ask out the violin player. Josh is initially unsure but then goes ahead and messages his friend in the band.
