Jakob admits to Kate he was thrown by the idea of being a grandparent. It was the list of things Kate had planned for them to do with the baby that overwhelmed him – but it’s all good now thanks to a nice chat with Brian. They agree Brian’s a star. Jakob tells Kate he’s set up a bank account to show his commitment to their grandchild. Kate’s touched – until Jakob declares he won’t be coming on the family holiday. Later Kate tells Lilian how disappointed she is. She reminds her aunt about Friday’s holiday meeting and encourages her to read all the messages in the group chat.

Chaos reigns at the Bull and Lilian pitches in, offering to run to the shop to fill a gap in a missing wholesale order. Joy scoops up the list of items and she and Lilian set to work. Jim comes and can’t believe how much new stock there is on the shelves. How can they afford it? Joy explains Susan was worried about losing customers, assuring Jim the gamble’s paying off so far.

After the lunch rush Jolene and Kenton are relieved to have got through it all, and normal service is resumed. They’re thankful for the village shop. Sceptical Jim is won over as Lilian insists lunches at the Bull would have been cancelled today if it hadn’t been for the well stocked shop.
When there’s a late request for a cricket tea on Sunday, Joy steps up and offers to lend a hand. Lilian declares she’s saved the Bull yet again.
