Jim tries to get to the truth and Shula doesn't get the reaction she was hoping for
At Greenacres, Alistair and Jazzer sit outside in the sunshine discussing the recent return of both the bunting and Natasha to Ambridge. Their conversation turns to preparations for Jim’s party, but they are interrupted when Jim arrives. Jazzer asks them for suggestions on how to spend his money from Tom.
Later, Jim has persuaded a sunburned Jazzer to join him in watching Alistair at nets. When Alistair has finished, he tells them he needs to make a call at the surgery. On a Sunday? Jim isn’t convinced. On their walk home, Jim and Jazzer speculate as to who Alistair may really be seeing. Jim couldn’t be happier for Alistair, so why can’t Alistair just let him know?
Shula meets with Alan and tells him she wants to become ordained. Alan wants to make sure she understands how long-winded and intrusive the process can be, but Shula’s done her research. She feels sure it’s the best way she can serve God. Alan wants Shula to be sure this isn’t just another hobby. He thinks she should go away and spend more time considering whether the decision is right for her.
