Clarrie has cooked breakfast for Ed, who's going to surprise Emma by taking George out for the day. Ed asks after Will, and Clarrie tells him he's settling in ok. Later, Ed and George have great fun playing football on the green.

Pat and Tony are discussing the flat above the shop. Helen's very enthusiastic about it, though it'll take a bit of work to bring it up to date. Tony's going to have a look at it himself, then talk to Peggy about it. Tom phones, saying he'll call in later, but it doesn't sound like he has good news. When Clarrie arrives for work, Pat decides they both need a coffee. Clarrie tells Pat how worried she is about William, and that George is without a father.

Tony returns from seeing Peggy, who is delighted with their plans for the flat - she's been worried about the shop for some time. Tom arrives, and tells his parents that Brian's refused to buy him out. Tony's furious with Brian - he needs Tom committed at Bridge Farm. Tom understands that, but his hands are firmly tied. Tony vows to have it out with Brian, as soon as possible.
