Tom gets a useful tip and Roy ponders the future.

Pip is collecting items for the Young Farmers' rummage sale. She's surprised with the amount of lettuce going to waste at Bridge Farm.

Pat tells Tom that the shop volunteers won't even take products just past their sell-by date for free! Even their own friends and neighbours seem to be turning against them.

Tom tries to educate the volunteers at the village shop about E coli, but admits to Pip that they don't seem to want to know. Pip reminds him that he's fighting back on-line. She's linked their site to her Twitter and Facebook pages. Tom tells her how he and Brenda keep visiting their site over and over again. Pip checks if he's deleting his browsing history to ensure that that each visit is recorded as a new hit. Tom assures her they are, then immediately phones Brenda to tell her what he's just learned.

With Elizabeth in Cornwall, Roy tells Mike that it's pleasing to know she trusts him to run Lower Loxley. Roy can't believe that Phoebe will be off to South Africa next Thursday. He's dreading it but has to be strong for Hayley. Mike consoles him, saying Phoebe will always be his daughter, wherever she is, and will always love him. Roy thanks him.
