Olwen puts her foot in it, and Fallon's views are challenged.

Fallon's worried that her anti-marriage stance has hurt Harrison's feelings. He reassures her that it hasn't, but Fallon confides to Jolene that she doesn't believe him. Jolene reminds Fallon that not all marriages end up like hers and Wayne's. Later, Fallon delights Harrison with the news that she too wants to make a will. He's a planner and she takes things one day at a time - they're the perfect couple, married or not.

Pat brings Olwen a cup of tea in bed, and is touched by the pleasure Olwen gets a lie-in and a good book. Meanwhile Helen shows Sheila Dillon around Bridge Farm, and is annoyed to discover that Olwen has moved an important folder. She's chastened when Pat points out that Olwen was only protecting it from Jack's breakfast mess. Despite everyone's best efforts Olwen and Sheila accidentally meet in the shop. Olwen praises Sheila's work, but suggests that there are more important food stories than posh cheese, however delicious. Later, Helen shocks Pat by saying that it's no wonder Olwen is homeless - she's impossible to live with! Then they find a farewell note from Olwen thanking them for their hospitality. Pat's determined to find her - society has failed Olwen, but she won't.
