It's Kenton and Shula's birthday. Armed with a new Panama hat from Fallon, Kenton's off to Paris with Jolene. So disappointingly for Pat, he'll miss the open day at Berrow Farm.
Shula hasn't received the same birthday treatment from Alistair. Jim's rather annoyed with Alistair for not passing on his present to Shula - a book of specially chosen verse.
Kenton thinks David is secretly quite proud of Ben for his part in the protest at the village hall. Shula's certainly proud of Dan. He is taking part in the Sovereign's Parade, a ceremony for those at the end of their year's training at Sandhurst.
PC Burns jokes about Fallon's clapped out old camper van. They test drive a Morris 1000 van, which Burns has suggested as Fallon's new vintage wagon. Making small talk, Burns realises that Fallon is keen to be just mates, as she presses him on the idea of dating Elizabeth. Rather hurt and confused, Burns asks to be dropped off.
Fallon is pleased to tell Pat she'll buy the van.
Pat, Jim and Shula discuss the proposed anaerobic digester and all the waste that will be trucked through the village. Jim knows that Charlie is a very plausible young man. They need to find a way to throw him off balance at the forthcoming open day.
