The SAVE campaigners blaze a trail. Meanwhile, Lilian is being mischievous.

Lynda encourages Lilian to showcase her knitting at the fete and in front of special guest Kirstie Allsopp.

Crafty Lilian buys some hand-knitted items from second-hand shops, which she'll pass off as her own. She also buys a wrist support. She will claim to have tendonitis to get out of doing any knitting displays. She tells Peggy not to take the moral high ground about the deception. She's just as culpable as Lilian. Peggy reflects that she only seems to get out these days to attend funerals.

Lynda leads the group making the 'No to Route B' video, as they walk, cycle and ride the route. Jim recites a poem to camera.

PC Burns helps Fallon get her van going and collect some furniture for her stall at the fete on Sunday. Fallon admits she's getting through her savings as she develops the vintage business. They tentatively try to arrange a drink or dinner together but are interrupted before they can agree a date.

Burns intervenes when an angry farmer challenges the group who are filming and supposedly trespassing on his property. The altercation is a reminder to Ruth that there will be more people like the farmer opposing them.
