Ed contemplates humiliation, and Peggy fears the worst.

Lilian joins Shula for a ride. Shula's preparing for mediation sessions with Alistair. They're supposed to be completely transparent, and Shula wonders if she should tell Alistair about Philip. Being attracted to him showed her what was missing in her marriage. Lilian advises against it - nothing happened, and it would hurt Philip and Alistair's friendship. Lilian takes a call from Peggy. Peggy has persuaded Christine to go to the doctor, but they are both dreading the appointment. Later, Peggy reports her relief that it was just a UTI. She couldn't have faced losing another person to dementia.

Emma joins Lynda for speedwatch. They're saddened by the Home Farm groundwater contamination - at least the contractors are obeying the speed limit.

Ed and Emma admire Ed's ram. The Borchester show is accepting late entries for the Texel ram lamb and Ed's hopeful that Poppy can be persuaded to chance the Peppa Pig's name before then. "Wooly", "Cloud", "Prince" - even "Shaun the sheep" would be an improvement! But, when Ed speaks to her, Poppy explains that she loves Peppa Pig so much because she used to watch it with her mum. Emma reckons that changing the name would break her heart. Ed can only hope that the judges will take Peppa Pig the lamb seriously.
