Kenton agrees to be the Dame to stop Lynda finding about Toby’s illicit gin.

Radio Times: Rob makes his demands, and Kenton is accosted.

Characters: Elizabeth, Kenton, Lilian, Lynda, Rob, Toby, Ursula

• Ursula is helping Rob with the move. Rob doesn’t want Ursula to take Helen’s casserole to the charity shop. Ursula worries about the deposit but Rob says since Usha is evicting him through prejudice she wouldn’t dare withhold it.
• Toby bumps into Elizabeth and wants to ask about how she got her wine business going. Elizabeth mutters that she will talk to him but not now but he bullies her into a meeting in The Bull at six o’clock. Fortunately Lynda interrupts them but she is still without a lead for the panto.
• Toby then dragoons Lilian into turning up at The Bull as well. Pip has told him that Lilian is the only expert in Ambridge but won’t tell her about what she is an expert in.
• Kenton and Elizabeth have a chat. Freddie is still unhappy and isn’t interested in his birthday. Kenton is singing the praises of the spa he went on. Kenton thinks she should go with Richard but Elizabeth firmly puts him down and says she wouldn’t want to go with Shula either. She has a go at persuading him into the panto but Kenton says it isn’t his problem.
• Rob saw Usha when he went to return the keys. She is insisting on doing an inventory. Ursula quite likes the new flat but is surprised he needs 3 bedrooms. Rob says he will need it when he regains custody of the boys.
• Lilian tells Elizabeth that things aren’t going well with Justin since she refused to rent a flat to Rob. Elizabeth says how odd it is when you think you know someone but really don’t. Toby does turn up in The Bull with his gin and shares it with Elizabeth, Kenton and Lilian. Lilian is amused that he has found her area of expertise. They seem reasonably impressed at first taste but when Kenton finds out it is moonshine, he tells him to get rid of it before Harrison walks in. Lynda turns up and tries to convince him to be the Dame again. All of them put on the pressure and then Toby spills some of the gin so Kenton agrees just to stop them spilling the beans about the illicit booze.
