Robert lectures Joy and Jazzer about excess packaging on items bought at the shop and the action needed to curb it. He’s confident he can win today’s litter-picking competition, although Joy points out that young Jack Archer is also determined to win.

Later, Robert hears Jazzer rustling in the bushes on Brookfield land, just before David shows up. When Robert spots the sunflower, Jazzer distracts David and tries to dissuade Robert from letting on that David has a prize specimen on his hands. Nevertheless, Jazzer realises he’ll need to hide the sunflower somewhere else. Robert wins the prize for collecting most bags of rubbish and immediately donates it as a raffle prize. Jazzer points out Robert has cheated, albeit unwittingly, by collecting one of his bags before the pick started. Jazzer says he’ll keep quiet, but only if Robert agrees not to say anything about the sunflower, so Jazzer can take the prize at the Flower and Produce Show.

Alice is pleased Brian has the all-clear from Dr Malik, and admits to feeling positive. Brian, however, is upset by a visit from Jean Harvey, who told Brian that Jennifer would be ashamed of him after yesterday’s outburst. Alice reminds Brian of his similar words to her. Contrite, Brian insists Jennifer would be proud of Alice. He offers to miss Ruairi’s graduation tomorrow to be here, but Alice says no and arranges to go to the ceremony with Brian. Tired but happy Alice had Martha in her bed all night, and before dropping off Martha said how nice it was to see her mummy happy.
