As Kathy is walking along with Alice, the Connells pull up beside them and warn Alice to be careful on the road. Dave is trying to explain to Kim that he felt out of his depth discussing business last night. She is patronising towards him. Emma is trying to get Zoe to show some interest in the blessing. They still have a lot to organise and she seems to be avoiding the subject. Susie teases Betty about what will happen at the blessing. Frank is due back today and Chris is issuing orders to Seth and Biff. He tells Seth to get on with the gardening while Biff is expected to sort out the office. Biff stands up to Chris who docked his wages for visiting Nick. Dave has confided in Jan about Kim. Jan advises him to start living his own life so that he is on equal terms with Kim.
