Characters: Jude, Kathy, Oliver, Pat, Pip, Susan

• Pip is beginning to get stressed about work and Jude keeps trying to persuade her to stop. She does stop but on the condition that they go to Lower Loxley to look at the website. Pip is determined she is going back to Brookfield overnight but after a lot of pestering she agrees to stay with Jude.
• Oliver provides champagne for the Shop Committee meeting now that they know it is saved. They are planning a party for the opening at the end of the month but Kathy has had enough of opening parties from Kenton.
