Eddie comes into the shop looking for a snack and discusses with Helen how time flies. He can’t believe Henry’s a teenager and Mia will be 18. Later, Oliver is sharing with Eddie the plans for the land he sold and what the surveyor said, when he receives an email bearing bad news. Helen is having an evening with Joy. They discuss their past relationships. Joy tells her she’s not sure whether to take the next step with Mick because she has been hurt before. Helen advises only doing what she is ready for. She then confides to Joy that it was Rob’s funeral today but she hadn’t told anybody and had tried to put it to the back of her mind, with only partial success. She tells Joy she is learning to sit with her feelings and then to let them go. During the evening Oliver turns up and breaks the news to Helen that – unbeknown to him - the Titchener family has bought the 10 acres of land. Jolene is teaching Tracy how to make a virgin mojito when she tells her that she has decided to let Mia help organise the Renew Fashion Show. She adds to Tracy that any sign of trouble from Mia will be her responsibility. Brad comes in with Bert and Tracy tells him the good news. When Jolene returns from changing a barrel he thanks her and tells her she won’t regret it. She goes on to say she can’t serve Brad the alcohol he is trying to buy for Bert and gives him a pint of orange squash instead.
