There's a sad shock in store for Jill.

When Joe suggests to Alan that he camps on Grundy's Field for his Lent project, Alan teases Joe by pretending he thinks Joe's going to be camping too. Clarrie dismisses the idea of using the field, because the whole point is to be visible. Alan leaves glum Joe a sponsorship form, as he seems so keen to support the cause...

Clarrie's initially pleased by the artwork on Eddie's new van but not when she sees her name over the top of a smiley sun. She tells Eddie it makes her look fat and stupid. He'd better get it painted out quickly, otherwise they're going to fall out big time.

As they get ready for their day out Jill, Chris and Peggy discuss the latest lot of graffiti on the cricket pavilion. They have a great time at the hat exhibition reminiscing about the past, including the time Phil first noticed Jill at the village fete.

At the end of a lovely day, they go back to Jill's. But when Jill pops into the sitting room to see if Phil wants a cup of tea she stops suddenly, realising that Phil has died, sitting peacefully in his armchair. With tears welling up, she utters his name.
