Helen presses Tom on a list of things he said he would do for their open day tomorrow. He asks if her anger is really about the twins’ modelling job but Helen doesn’t think there’s anything else to say. George is helping out with preparations too, and suggests making a film with Tom talking about organic growing that visitors can watch in his absence. George has big ideas for it. They get some of it done and then start recording in the packing shed. George gets annoyed when Helen interrupts them. Tom sends George off to get more general shots. Helen and Tom talk again about the modelling job. Helen hates that they’re taking it; she thinks it’s hypocritical. She makes it clear that she won’t be telling their parents about it. It’s not her place – this is Tom’s mess. Alice is keen to help as Brian cooks a Sunday lunch for Adam, Kate and Alice. Afterwards, they congratulate Brian on a lovely meal. They are surprised to discover Jennifer’s will has arrived but Brian is yet to open it. Kate opens it and announces that Jennifer has left Martha £15,000, but nothing to her other grandchildren. Alice quickly leaves. Brian says he didn’t know about this bequest or when Jennifer added it to her will. As they tackle the clearing up, Adam and Kate are left stumped. Their mother must have had a good reason but they’ll never know what it is. Kate feels it’s not like her mum to disregard the rest of her grandchildren. What was she thinking?
