Ruth helps Leonard decorate the guest bedroom. They chat about Beth’s refusal to be in Jill’s birthday photos. Ruth wonders if it’s just teething troubles from moving in with Ben. Ruth tags along with Leonard and Jill when they go furniture shopping for the guest room. But when Leonard sees the furniture in the flesh, he thinks they should go a bit more upmarket. When Clarrie asks Eddie to prepare the vegetables for their tea, Eddie says he’ll get George to do it. Clarrie thinks that’ll be a first, but Eddie reckons he can easily persuade George. Kenton chats to Shula on the phone and reports back to Jolene that she sounded very positive and well supported. When he worries that he’s ruined Eddie’s marriage, Jolene scoffs. How can Eddie be upset by a stupid kiss nearly fifty years ago - it’s got out of hand. But later when Jolene discusses it with Eddie, she ends up offending Clarrie when she says she wouldn’t feel threatened by Clarrie. When Eddie points out that Kenton’s going to have to go a long way to make it up to him, Jolene smells a rat. She apologises, saying she’ll talk to Kenton. When she goes, Clarrie says it’s wrong to deceive people like this, but Eddie’s dismissive – if it gets them a few freebies from the Bull, what’s the problem? But back at the Bull, Jolene tells Kenton she’s sure she’s on to another Grundy scam. It’s time for revenge!
