Alan mobilises the village, and it's all hands to the pumps.

The Ash Wednesday service is busier than Shula expected, and Alan's sermon goes down well.

The villagers are still suffering with no water but Jill reports that luckily David and Ruth haven't been affected. Jill mentions that she might pop home for the weekend, not wanting to be a burden when Ruth and David are so stretched. Shula offers Jill her house instead, knowing that her operation is on Monday.

Emma and Nic have a laugh swapping stories from the water crisis. Everyone is helping out where they can and Shula and Jill along with the WI have plans to set up a laundry service if it goes on much longer.

Fallon discusses Dan's idea for the Sport Relief event - a cross country assault course! Emma is keen to sign up and convinces Nic to as well. Fallon secretly confides in Shula that she doesn't think they quite realise what they've let themselves in for.

Talk at The Bull turns to what they'll each give up for Lent. Kenton and Jolene challenge each other - Kenton to give up alcohol, Jolene to give up chocolate.

Fallon delivers some good news - the burst pipe has been fixed and everything should be back to normal.
