Will has an exercise in diplomacy.

Susan sees Brian's preliminary report on the shop finances and wonders how much of the Β£30k will be for wages. She's relieved to learn there will be a paid job for her but is stunned that it could be as little as two mornings a week. Brian and Pat ask her to think more positively but Susan's most put out. Brian understands her situation, and charmingly suggests she has the option of resigning. Susan quickly changes her attitude and insists she's looking forward to the new challenge.

Eddie struggles to shift compost with the help of Joe and Bartleby, and wishes there was more justice, comparing his fortunes to those of Pip's new boyfriend. Joe feels too many of today's youngsters have full wallets and empty heads, referring to the graffiti on the village green toilets, obviously done by some idiot who can afford to waste money on expensive spray paints.

Will tactfully offers to lend Eddie Β£6k for a new van. Although grateful, Eddie turns him down but Will talks Eddie round, pointing out how all the family will benefit. Eddie swears to pay back every penny, and they shake on it. Eddie's grateful to have such a damn good son.
