Lynda calls on David, who's busy in the lambing shed. Lynda tells David the green burial site's change of use application is underway. David's unsure why Lynda's telling him, but Lynda says as acting Chair of the PC, David might like advance notice. Lynda says David's life will be easier when she's the new Chair. She's quietly confident - no one else is nominated and she has support from Audrey and Derek.

Helen thinks Annette should take it easy. Annette says she'll try but she's working tomorrow. Later, Helen finds Annette crying. She doesn't regret her actions, and is glad it's over, but she doesn't think she'll cope with Susan's prying questions tomorrow. Helen says she'll think of an excuse for her.

David calls at Ambridge View and tells Neil Audrey's nominated Lynda. Later at the shop Lynda tells Susan the community shop's attracted lots of volunteers. Susan doesn't think they'll cope but Lynda thinks Susan's underestimating them. Lynda leaves and Neil appears, telling Susan about Lynda's nominations for PC Chair. David wants him to stand against her. Neil's unsure but Susan's keen. Helen rings, telling Susan Annette won't be in tomorrow. Susan says she'll cover her. She just wishes people appreciated all she does for the shop.
