Phil doesn't realise that Jill's cake for the show is supposed to be a bee, but he knows that Jill feels she's in competition with Vicky. He assures Jill that her honey cake is a delicious classic, and doesn't need to be dressed up. Jill appreciates this but still wants Ruth's opinion. With its black icing and yellow stripes, Ruth recognises that the cake's a bee but completely agrees with Phil that Jill's gone to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Will has a game-keeping emergency but Emma's furious that he asked Nic to pick George up from school. Susan thinks Emma should count her blessings but Emma can't believe that Susan sides with Will. Ed thinks that if George is happy then that's the most important thing. Emma muses that maybe one day George will have a brother or sister of his own, if Ed can go ahead with expanding the herd.

Jill tells Phil that Emma caught David rummaging in the freezer, looking for his birthday dinner. Phil hopes David's not going to be disappointed when he learns about the surprise meal at Lower Loxley. Jill says Ruth just thinks David will be relieved to find out he's getting a decent meal.
