Joe is losing heart. Meanwhile Lynda summons her powers of persuasion.

The notorious Anthea is causing quite a stir amongst some of the Ambridge locals and has even managed to subdue Jazzer! Maurice is incredibly impressed with her forthright attitude towards Tom and his 'overpriced convenience food'. Although he seems keen, Maurice mentions to Jazzer that she is in fact married. A minor detail, as Jazzer points out, that would not stop some people in Ambridge!

Eddie reveals to Ruth that he still has concerns about Joe who even with his cast removed seems to be a shadow of his former self. Eddie's worried that Joe might not even make it to the micro-brewery visit, which poor Jim is really looking forward to. To top it off, Joe still feels they should have accepted the £1500 compensation offer from Grey Gables.

Maurice is shocked when Lynda approaches him for the eponymous leading role in the Robin Hood production. He is quick to reject Lynda's big plans, having no inclination at all to make his debut now. His reluctance is a real blow to Lynda who seeks advice from Jazzer on the situation. When they talk of the casting of Maid Marian, Jazzer thinks he might have sussed Maurice's weak spot.
