Poor Brian. While Kate was cleansing the bad vibes from her cottage, he was planning to cleanse himself in a nice hot bath. But it wasn't to be...
So Brian switched off the smoke alarm in his dressing gown. I don't have a smoke alarm in MY dressing gown. [Judy Lustigman on Facebook]
Do we really believe that Brian can see his feet? After all, I doubt that was low-cal burgundy was it? [Judy Lustigman on Facebook]
And safe to say, Brian wasn't the only one who was feeling less than chill about Kate...
Kate... Billy no Mates with Incense. [Chris Walmsley on Facebook]
Smudging! Exorcism more like! [Maureen Parnaby on Facebook]
It is difficult to imagine a scenario where Kate faces up to reality - she is impervious to criticism and blind to her failings and failures. This is making her an object of pity. The day when something happens to make her face the reality of her shallow and lonely existence will be truly agonising for her. [Jean Bell on Facebook]
I think deep down she knows. [Alison Rea on Facebook]
But a pro-Kate faction is gaining momentum...
Don't shoot me but I am starting to feel a bit sorry for Kate! [Alison Rea on Facebook]
I found Kate rather vulnerable tonight. Self-centred and selfish for sure, but still vulnerable. Daughter, Dad, uni friends all not interested not to mention that scamp Toby Fairbrother! [Francesca Heather-Hayes on Facebook]
And spare a thought for Phoebe, forced to spend a week scrubbing raddle from the Home Farm poolside and trying to prevent the Great Fire of Ambridge [aka Kate's smudging ceremony]...
I am really becoming fond of Phoebe. As well as the Ab Fab thing she also has a bit of that Adrian Mole vibe of the sane, if uptight child, forced to observe supposedly responsible adults playing out their failings! [Maggie Mumford on Facebook]
Elsewhere, Mike was preparing to leave… but could this really be it for the best one-eyed darts player in Ambridge history?
And as Susan prepared for something a bit classier than beer and sandwiches…
Mike would like beer and sandwiches. Susan tries to keep up with the Aldridges' Albion Party! Maybe a pineapple sputnik is not classy, Susan! [Lynda Everington on Facebook]
Meanwhile, shockwaves reverberated through the UK as Ambridge faced a fete-less Summer...
The true story behind Adam's concerns about Dust Bowl Ambridge was discussed by the Soil Association...
And finally. The Archers: making children squeakier clean than is strictly necessary for 6 decades…
