The welcoming committee waits for Fallon.

Lewis advises Mike and Roy on the planning and building regulations necessary for the house conversion. It's going to be a few months before the work can start. Mike's disappointed that a connecting door is impossible, for fire safety reasons, but Lewis talks them through the plans. Overall it's sounding good. They've even decided on names: Roy and Hayley will keep the name Willow Farm, and Mike's home will be Willow Cottage.

Lewis, Mike and Roy celebrate the plans over a drink. They discuss the badger problem that's affecting Nigel and, supposedly, Oliver.

Fallon's back home for a few days in between gigs. Ed tries to make plans but it's clear that she's still wrapped up in the band - it's all she can think and talk about. Their evening plans are put on hold when Clarrie's late for her shift at the Bull so Ed decides he'll ask Oliver for some time off tomorrow. But, assuming he'd be working, Fallon's made plans to rehearse a new song with the band. Ed offers to come along and be their test audience. Fallon realises just how much he's missed her. Ed admits last week was horrible - he'd much rather be with her if he can.
