When Pip and David discuss Stella\u2019s pitch for the Borchester Land board, David points out that he\u2019s not a fan of theirs. He\u2019s surprised Stella even went for the role; they\u2019re 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\u2019s fine and reckons Justin\u2019s sincere in taking her on. And there\u2019s a lot of good work that could come from the role. She\u2019s in a position to make positive change. David admires her fighting talk.

John\u2019s willing to try again with Denise, but she confirms it\u2019s too late; they\u2019ve had years to try to fix their marriage. She decides to go to Paul\u2019s 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 \u2013 or whether John will - but Denise really doesn\u2019t have any idea.
