Pat tries to take her mind off her worries and Lynda's panto casting reaches crisis point.

Pat meets Kathy for lunch. While they're out she finds a warm outfit for Helen's baby. Helen's been to see a physiotherapist. She's twisted her knee but can still do light exercise. Helen decides swimming might be a good alternative. Pat's really concerned, and reminds Helen to eat. She worries when Helen says she'll be eating less now she's not doing any calorie-burning exercise.

Jim hopes Grey Gables will sponsor one of the races at the race evening. Lynda tells him that Caroline's dashed off to see her uncle, Lord Netherbourne, who's had a fall. Jim and Alan have agreed that all money raised will go to the British Legion.

Lynda's behind with casting and still needs two leads. Kirsty and Mike have both said no. Lynda asks Vicky to persuade Mike to reconsider - she'll even include a dance number in the show for both of them if it helps. It's a relief when Mike agrees. But Lynda's still anxious and needs to cast her leading ladies, among others, with only seven weeks of rehearsal left. Vicky suggests Fallon but they agree she's far too busy. Lynda's usually such a creative problem-solver, but she really has run out of ideas.
