Tom lays down a challenge.

Jack's quite content but Peggy still believes they've all abandoned him and she's determined to get discharged from hospital quickly. Jennifer and Pat agree it would be unthinkable for Peggy to care for Jack at The Lodge but they don't know what to do.

Shula's helping with costumes for this years pantomime: Jack and The Beanstalk. She cautiously tells Alistair that she's sort of agreed he might like to be in charge of set-building. Alistair's actually quite enthusiastic and suggests getting Daniel involved. The auditions on 4 November clash with a Gamblers Anonymous meeting which Alistair wants to attend - mainly to find out how Ryan's doing - but Shula's happy to take Daniel to the auditions.

Tom's devastated to learn that Pat and Tony won't accept Matt's offer of 825,000 pounds. Tom's convinced they could achieve that amount if Pat cashed in her pension and they sold various assets. This isn't just a business opportunity - it's Tom and Helen's future, and the farm will provide all the security Pat and Tony need. There's finally a chance to take charge of the family's future and Tom wants them to have the guts to do something about it.
