The horses are safely back in now at the Stables. Shula's worried about the effect of the flood on their business, especially Alistair's vet practice. More happily, Dan is doing well and should soon be an officer in the Royal Tank Regiment.
Bert is missing Freda. He moves into Ben's bedroom at Brookfield. He'll get Ben a thank you gift in the form of a model figure. Ben managed to save Freda's soaked recipe books. David and Ruth cheer Bert up. They can give the bungalow a proper makeover and Freda can have a new kitchen.
The Bull is open for business - in the new upstairs 'Flood Bar'. David, Jill and Ruth go for dinner and discuss Heather, who may consider sheltered accommodation.
Shula has shock news. Freda has died. She had a heart attack. Bert feels so alone. Jill reveals they're not leaving Brookfield and Bert sobs. Jill comforts Bert and promises him he won't be left on his own.
