Kathy tells Pat that the silent movie night means they've topped £2.5K for the organ fund.

Kathy's stock check revealed a shortfall of £150 but she's not prepared to condemn Steve him before she's heard his side of the story. She later tells Martyn that Steve admitted taking the money, so she has sacked him. Martyn assumes she's informed the police about the crime. Kathy doesn't think that's necessary. Steve was desperate because his wife was sick. Nor does she agree with his assumption that the rest of the staff are involved.

David's surprised at the size of the crowd at Lower Loxley's beer festival. Elizabeth agrees it's a popular event and apologises for worrying David when he spoke to her yesterday. She'd had a ludicrous offer on the two building plots that she needs to sell in order to fund the dairy block conversion.

Kenton tells them about his dilemma over a wedding venue. Ruth agrees the register office isn't exactly inspiring. Elizabeth suggests they have the wedding at Lower Loxley, at cost. Kenton's delighted.

Pat tells Kathy about sacking Steve. Pat insists she mustn't blame herself. Kathy wishes Martyn Gibson wasn't so nasty. She's starting to doubt her own judgement. The trouble is that he was right. That's what's so humiliating.
