Tom's at Bridge Farm with the cows when Brenda rings. She offers to cook tonight, to make up for whingeing last night. Tom's suddenly trodden on by a cow. Brenda feels terrible for distracting him.

At Keepers' Cottage, Clarrie tells Eddie she's found a spot in the church for her flower arrangement. Eddie asks if Oliver's away for the weekend. Clarrie instantly knows he's up to something. He mustn't spoil things for Ed.

At the Bull, Jolene offers sympathy to unhappy Lilian. Matt and Lilian were supposed to be at the theatre tonight but he's gone out and not returned. Again. Does Lilian think it's another woman? Lilian says she knows Matt. This is different. They're interrupted by a phone call from Matt. Lilian asks where he's been. What about the theatre? Matt says he's going to bed.

Tom arrives home and Brenda's rubs his aching foot. She apologises for moaning about her family. She should be careful or he'll want to be alone again. Tom interrupts: would she like to get married? Brenda can't believe it. Yes, of course she would!
