Kenton gives Ed a drink on the house. He's a local hero after driving Otto the bull away from Tony. Ed changes the subject to Christmas. Fallon's organising a fayre at the village hall and stalls at Borchester and Felpersham markets. Fallon's delighted to be offered a job organising a big Christmas event with Emma. Someone had recommended Fallon, but who?

Lynda wants to see the supposedly public minutes of Borchester Local Enterprise Partnership's last two meetings. Fallon and Lynda aren't seeing eye to eye on Fallon's Blithe Spirit character, Elvira. But Lynda's pleased when Fallon offers to look for a much-needed old gramophone.

The Health and Safety Executive investigator is at Bridge Farm. Helen's defensive when questioned about Tony's methods for training apprentices. The inspector explains he has to ask difficult questions and interviews Johnny. As Tony's condition seems to have deteriorated, Pat can't face her interview and asks to do it later.

Keen to keep the Bridge Farm enterprise running, Rob mentions some new efficiencies he's thinking of. He also tells Helen not to stifle Henry. Pat's back from hospital, weary. Tony seems a bit better now. But there's no word from Tom. Rob compares Helen's supportive family to his own dysfunctional one. He insists on taking Helen's mind off things. They should go hunting on Thursday.
