Summary

Alice announces she wants to start making payments to her nephews and nieces, because of Jennifer’s bequest to Martha. Neither Brian nor Adam thinks that’s necessary, but Alice is insistent, before joking that there’d better not be any nasty surprises in Brian’s will. Things turn awkward, though, when Brian won’t be drawn on what’s in it. Later Alice and Adam talk over Brian’s reaction to being asked about his will. Adam thinks it’s a generational thing, being so secretive. But Alice worries Brian might now make changes to his will because she’s annoyed him by asking. Jolene’s very confident about her pitch for the Coronation Illumination and Kenton reluctantly agrees to support his wife. But Jolene tells Freddie she’s not letting Kenton anywhere near Justin; he might sabotage The Bull’s bid. Later Justin congratulates Freddie on his excellent pitch before inviting in Jolene. Freddie tells Kenton he wishes he’d talked more about farming, as that’s a key interest of King Charles. He adds that thankfully there’s no competition from farms, as far as he knows. This plants an idea in Kenton’s head. Justin is mightily impressed by Jolene’s pitch, admitting he’s already biased towards The Bull, with Lilian’s involvement. He can’t declare the winner just yet, but hints heavily that The Bull could well end up in the spotlight next weekend. Meanwhile Kenton calls Natasha to let her know about the competition Justin’s running. He persuades Natasha to enter Bridge Farm and she’s grateful he’s thought of them. It’s a good idea. Kenton’s keeping everything crossed for them.
