Justin calls in a favour, and Pat is offended.

Pat cooks her vegetable stew for The Elms shelter but is taken aback when someone makes a suggestion on how to improve it. Helen teases her about taking criticism and suggests that Pat makes it for the family that evening, with the suggested ingredients.

Helen is busy getting everything prepared for the first cheese making class. When Pat learns that there are only 5 people booked in she reminds Helen that, in the long term, they will need more people to make the business idea viable.

At Robert's suggestion Lynda begins reading Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion'. Lynda is finding it heavy going and is making slow progress. However, she makes it clear to Robert that she's not complaining, she is committed to Lent Appeal challenge too, and her remarks are of a literary criticism nature.

Justin wants to make sure that the BL board don't block his vision for a high-end retail outlet, on the cattle market site, rather than the agricultural mega store which Martyn Gibbs is hoping for. Justin enlists Brian's help and subtly reminds him how he helped Brian keep his position as chair.

Later in the meeting Martyn is surprised when Brian sides with Justin. When Justin's proposal wins Martyn makes a comment about Brian's moral integrity which riles Brian. Justin tells Brian it's time to celebrate and suggests that Brian's fortunes could be changing. To which Brian comments it can't happen soon enough for him.
