Will worries that Lynda might smell a rat when all the family turn up for the fete committee meeting, and thinks Clarrie’s right when she said they need to think of a way to distract Lynda. Angry Mia refuses to go the meeting, telling Eddie he’s double-crossed her. She’d only agreed to go if Eddie went to the EV charging station meeting, but she’s heard that Eddie’s having Oliver over for a meal that evening. Eddie promises to rearrange it but asks for ideas to distract Lynda from their take-over. Later Mia suggests encouraging Lynda to research the history of the Village Fete for a brochure. Eddie thinks Mia’s a genius. Lee apologises to Tom about his behaviour last week; he was worried about losing his job. Tom’s understanding, explaining he’d been feeling guilty for making Lee visit Rob with him. Lee thinks he’s the one who messed it up by shoving Rob, but Tom thinks Rob might have fallen deliberately. When Tom advises Lee not to meet with Rob on Friday, Lee says it’s the price he’s paying for not being taken to court. Although he’s worried it’s a trap, Helen reckons it could see an end to things once and for all. Tom suggests visiting Harrison for tips on handling difficult situations. Helen’s delighted when she notices someone’s paid her massive solicitor’s bill. But she has no idea who it was. Lee tells Helen that Tom thinks he shouldn’t meet up with Rob. Helen reminds him that he needs to go so they can draw a line under the whole wretched business.
