Fallon despairs; Lilian despairs; Jolene tries to bolster both of them.

Radio Times: Lilian drowns all thoughts of Matt.

Characters: Fallon, Jolene, Lilian, Sid, Tom, Tony

• Fortunately Tony’s back is much improved, though Tom is ready to ease his burden again if need be. He stays long enough to impart the news of Jazzer dumping Annette and to suggest that his parents follow David and Ruth’s example and take a holiday.
• There’s a mystery at The Bull: a sink in the gents’ toilet is practically off the wall. That would be Jazzer’s fruitless attempt to evade Annette by climbing out of the window. Fallon is really disheartened about replacing her group’s guitarist, especially since the two of them wrote all the songs together. She is seriously thinking of giving up her career as a singer; Jolene encourages her to press on; Sid is no use at all.
• Another little ray of sunshine joins the party. Lilian is bent on drowning her sorrows in G&Ts. After the third, Jolene tactfully dissuades her from any more and ends up driving her back to Home Farm.
