When Pip and David discuss Stella’s pitch for the Borchester Land board, David points out that he’s not a fan of theirs. He’s surprised Stella even went for the role; they’re obviously green-washing something. Stella turns up and says that despite her qualms about the role, she does think that Justin believes that the environment, nature and sustainability should be at the core of modern business. Later, David apologises to Stella if she overhead his views about it, but she’s fine and reckons Justin’s sincere in taking her on. And there’s a lot of good work that could come from the role. She’s in a position to make positive change. David admires her fighting talk.

Paul mentions to Denise that his dad’s visiting him tonight and Paul says Denise is welcome too. When Paul heads off Denise wonders to Alistair about the reasons for John’s visit. Later she rings John who explains he’s going to tell Paul that their marriage is over, but it’s up to Denise to let Paul know about her affair with Alistair. John’s willing to try again with Denise, but she confirms it’s too late; they’ve had years to try to fix their marriage. She decides to go to Paul’s with John so they can tell him the news together. Later when John turns up at the surgery to meet Paul, things are frosty between him and Alistair. After John and Paul leave, Alistair wonders whether Denise will tell Paul about their relationship – or whether John will - but Denise really doesn’t have any idea.
