It's Apple Day in Ambridge. Meanwhile Matt is being obstructive.

Brian and Will discuss the shoot. Bird numbers are dwindling due to the bad summer weather. Brian thinks this might not make a huge difference, since bookings are down anyway. Ruairi's wishing he didn't have to go back to school. He likes watching the shoot.

George is bored at the Apple Day event until Will offers to buy him a toffee apple. Fed up Emma tackles Will about splashing the cash, accusing him of undermining her. Will thinks this is an overreaction; he refuses to ask her permission for everything he does for George.

Joe starts the cider making demonstration, removing his teeth to relieve his sore mouth. When Eddie tells him to put the teeth back in there's panic as Joe realises they're lost - probably in the apple scratter. Joe's worried about how he'll manage with no teeth. Eddie just tells him not to open his mouth. He doesn't want this becoming known.

The atmosphere at the Dower House is still icy. They bicker over Matt's reluctance to visit James, and Matt's attitude towards him generally. Lilian asserts that whatever Matt thinks, James will come straight to the Dower House when he's discharged, and will stay until he's better.
