Tom becomes suspicious, and Robert racks his brains.
Auditions for the upcoming production of Robin Hood are underway. However turnout has underwhelmed Lynda somewhat, who then conspires with Robert as to how else they can approach this production. Robert might have had a brainwave, but is Ambridge really home to the kind of modern day Hepburn this production needs? Lynda has someone special in mind...
Meanwhile word of the fall out of Ray's disastrous time at Grey Gables has reached Ambridge, it appears Ray is now facing a divorce. The general consensus is not one of sympathy.
Tom is enjoying a busy period as ready meal orders have been upped but Helen, on the other hand, is still feeling rather woeful following her break up. Even when she joins Tom and Kirsty tidying the reeds she can't get away from mention of Rob, and decides she might be better just going home. Tom is confused by Helen's quick escape and turns to Kirsty in order to try and shed some light on the situation. A torn Kirsty suggests Tom would be better to ask Helen himself.
