Excited that her Christmas Show is coming along, whimsical Lynda looks for Jazzer at Bridge Farm to ask if he'll sing a selection of Elizabethan ballads. Later at Grange Farm, Lynda tells Ed she's now got Oliver and Caroline on board. But Jazzer has only agreed to the Elizabethan ballads if they're bawdy.

Fallon and Rhys enjoy rehearsing their roles as Beatrice and Benedick and with Lynda's help gain a greater understanding of their characters. Rhys comments that by the end of the play, the audience must be screaming "Just get together!".
Tense Emma snaps at Ed. When he asks her what's wrong, tearful Emma admits that she's disappointed she didn't get any more work in the Orangery. She's not asking for much, just a bit extra so they can get by. Later she's even more disheartened when she can't get a cleaning job. Ed's supportive, saying it should be him looking for extra work; Emma does a great job raising the children.

Later at Bridge Farm, Tom tells Ed about his ready meal problem. His meatballs were made with too much salt, so they're being reprocessed. Ed's disappointed when he asks Tom if there's any work at Bridge Farm and Tom tells him that unfortunately there isn't.
