Joe's enjoying the Apple Day cider. He speculates as to reasons for Phoebe's sojourn at Home Farm, and the absence of Hayley's car from Ambridge. Eddie and Carol chide him for being nosey, and flustered Jennifer has no answers for him when he puts her on the spot. Carol elicits an invitation from Joe to Cider Club.

Will's fretting about all the extra birds he's dealing with this year. It's the first season since BL was taken over and he's keen to get it right. Eddie reassures him it will turn out okay - it always does. He offers his services as a beater; Jennifer always puts on such a good spread. Eddie asks cryptically if Will has any souvenirs from Mexico in the loft.

Brian and Jennifer discuss Roy. Brian thinks Roy should at least get a hearing, but Jennifer believes he's behaved abominably. Kate's been told and has reacted badly. They agree that broken Phoebe can stay with them for as long as she likes. Brian goes to see Roy to offer sympathy, but soon finds himself out of his depth when Roy breaks down. Roy can't see how he's ever going to fix this. Awkward Brian's reduced to trite platitudes as Roy promises to try and keep his chin up.
