Susan is full of gossip to Rob, speculating on Roy and Hayley and the real reason Roy left Lower Loxley. Shula comes into the shop and remains tight-lipped, even more so when Susan shares her admiration for Charlie Thomas. It seems the parish council will have to drop their objection to the new anaerobic digester.

Ed is still worrying that no-one's buying Mike's business and the milk. More happily, he and Jazzer have some crutching work coming up (shearing sheep's back ends). Susan enters the kitchen, horrified to see the mess created by Ed's boots and Emma, who's sanding furniture.

Rob apologises for his several frantic calls to Helen. It's been hell at work, and he was worried that Henry had been taken ill or something. He's sorry if he over-reacted. But next time, if she's going out, why not send him a text, just to keep him up to speed?

Elizabeth's struggling to arrange the hunt ball. Shula has consulted a solicitor about the Brookfield inheritance. They advised to wait and see what happens with the road.

Elizabeth tells Shula about her affair. Shula is understanding. But if Susan is now on to it, soon it will be all around the village. However bad things are now, Elizabeth
fears they can only get worse.
