Robert catches Lynda flicking through the application pack for the deputy manager role. Lynda intends to apply but Robert is unsure. Knowing how much she invests in her projects, Robert worries that if she takes on this on, other aspects of Lynda's life might take a back seat.

Mulling this over, Lynda takes Scruff for a walk and meets Ed fixing his fences. He tells her that he no longer wants dogs near his land. Lynda is surprisingly sympathetic and vows not only to stop taking Scruff there but to relay the message to other dog owners too. Ed is appreciative, knowing how important her opinions are to the village community.
