It's the planning application meeting. Pat emphasises Bridge Farm's importance as one of the first wholly organic farms in Borsetshire. Tony and Helen think she does well. Annabelle follows with an equally good account of why the committee shouldn't turn down the application. When the chairman announces a decision in Pat and Tony's favour, a cheer goes up and Tony invites the Ambridge supporters back to The Bull to celebrate.

Joe's dressed up and waiting for Mildred. They're off to a charity tea dance in Darrington. Clarrie wonders how he'll fill his time when Mildred goes back, and Joe admits he doesn't know. Clarrie doesn't want him getting hurt but Joe tells her that's ridiculous. When Clarrie tells Ed of her concerns, Ed points out that sometimes you just can't help the way you feel.

Clarrie can see that Ed's agitated but assumes it's because of breaking up with Fallon. Ed tells her it isn't that, but can't bring himself to tell her about Emma. Clarrie thinks William's been acting strangely too, but after talking to Clarrie his world didn't seem so bad. At that, Ed tries to convince her he's just worried about tomorrow's TB tests, and insists that is all that's bothering him.
