Emotions run high for Pip, and Fallon is surprised by a generous offer.
Tom gives Fallon the news that they won’t be giving her a long lease on the Tearoom. He reassures her it’s nothing she’s done wrong. Perceptive Lynda sees Fallon’s upset when she confuses an order. Fallon explains her conversation with Tom. Lynda assures her she’s doing brilliantly, the Tearoom is a success. Yes, but for how long, declares Fallon. She understands the Bridge Farm Archers might want to keep their options open, but with the possibility of competition in the form of a coffee chain just down the road, she doesn’t want to lose vital footfall. It couldn’t come at a worse time, with Harrison about to reduce his hours. Lynda reckons Fallon needs some work-life balance too. Fallon counters she loves her job, it doesn’t feel like work, but concedes a holiday would be nice. Lynda offers her a loan. Fallon’s touched by her kindness, but says she doesn’t need one at the moment. Lynda declares she’ll make it her mission to ensure the community supports the Tearoom.
Pip returns Stella’s bag, feeling awkward about last night. She scuttles off, leaving Stella exasperated. She catches up with Pip, saying she doesn’t want things to be weird between them. Pip wants to forget it ever happened, but Stella says there’s no need to be embarrassed. It was just a kiss and not a big deal. Pip thaws, and they drink tea together. She thanks Stella for making it normal. Stella reassures Pip; last night was down to both of them. They agree they’re really glad they’re mates.
