Pip’s happy to hear that Ruth and Leonard have made up. Despite her denials though, it’s clear Ruth’s still suspicious Leonard’s up to something behind Jill’s back. Ruth then tells Joy and Susan she liked how convenient it was when they were doing deliveries. Alan has asked to speak to Susan however, which sounds a bit ominous. Later, Susan reports back that Alan told her the shop needs to move on from St Stephens, after the spate of recent incidents. Susan is in despair, but Joy suggests going properly mobile, after what Ruth said, only they’d need something bigger than Susan’s car to do it.
George asks Will for a lift to the car dealership owned by Amber’s dad. He hasn’t told Amber, but George is going to try and heal the rift with her parents. Will cautions him to be on his best behaviour and not expect too much. George reckons it has to be sorted before she’ll agree to marry him. At the showroom with Amber’s dad George pretends to be a customer before admitting he’s come to ask for approval of his relationship with Amber. Mr Gordon tells George they don’t approve, but if Amber wants to talk to them, they’re happy to listen. George however thinks they should make the first move and gives Mr Gordon their address, with an open invitation to come over.
Ruth phones Pip, telling her she’s spotted Leonard at the Farm Supplies café with a woman, looking very cosy. Despite Ruth’s suspicions Pip still thinks there’s an innocent explanation.

Joy tries her best to talk Susan out of resigning from the Shop, eventually persuading Susan to talk to George before making a final decision. Susan then finds George with Amber on the Green and tells him about her decision to resign. George insists she mustn’t resign. He really appreciates her willingness to sacrifice something she loves for his sake, though. He then brings up her and Neil shopping him to the police, plus the engagement ring Susan gave Amber before Neil insisted on taking it back. George says he’s okay with Susan, but he still sees Neil as the enemy.
Lilian tells Joy that Phoebe’s arriving from Scotland today and Kate is beyond excited, though Lilian hates the idea of being called a great-great-aunt. Joy then receives a text from Susan, wanting to meet later. When Susan turns up at The Bull Joy is delighted to hear she won’t be resigning after all and has at least partially reconnected with George.
George takes Amber to a cocktail bar, insists on paying, but won’t tell her how he got the money. He then proposes to her again, this time with a ring of his own. Amber is awkward and George suspects something’s not right, supposing it’s to do with her parents’ disapproval. Amber agrees that’s the reason she’s been upset, but also thinks they shouldn’t rush into organising the wedding straight away. George suggests meeting her parents to try and get them to change their minds about him. Amber wants more time to think about it, though.
