The battle lines are drawn for Neil and Lynda.

Bert drops a flyer for Wayne's record night at Willow Cottage and finds Vicky in. She excitedly shows him how the garden's getting on. Bert eventually manages to escape to Brookfield. David tells him about Ed's plans for ploughing his new land and Bert jumps at a chance to practice for the next ploughing match. David goes to dig a few spadefuls for his worm survey, before looking at the parish council meeting agenda. He thinks it'll be a lively one.

Vicky drops in at Grey Gables to invite Lynda to a garden warming dinner party. Lynda tells Vicky that Lee Mason, star Felpersham City football player, has booked his 21st birthday party there. It'll be excellent publicity for the hotel, as Borsetshire Life is sending a photographer.

As David begins the meeting, Lynda reveals that she and Elizabeth are the guerrilla gardeners in the Memorial Garden. Lynda goes on the attack about Adam's proposal to move the footpath. Neil argues that it's a minor diversion, with minimal effect on any walkers. They should be backing the countryside economy, and supporting people like Adam. David eventually interrupts the debate. There's lots more to get through in the meeting, so perhaps they should put it to the vote?
