David and Ruth are out of their comfort zone, and Roy needs help.

Having enjoyed the harvest festival service, Carol enthuses about village life and Fallon's small business, which Jill points out is better than BL's big business. Jill found BL's ostentatious hamper for harvest festival simply blatant.

They also discuss Roy's departure from Lower Loxley. Jill is surprised he left. After meeting a rather flat Hayley, Carol subtly mentions to Jill that Hayley doesn't seem quite the cheerful young woman she's been described as.

Carol offers to be a sous chef/helper to Jill for the harvest supper. They discuss Bert and his singing group - other members Joe and Eddie. Carol is finding Bert to be a treasure with all his old stories. She could talk vegetables with him all day.

David admits to Ruth that he'd consider moving to a new farm in Prudhoe only as a last resort - but it would have to be perfect. He and Ruth agree to go and have a look at one. David's worried about telling Jill.

Hayley reveals to Roy that Phoebe knows about his affair. Roy can't think what to say to Phoebe. Sorry is all he can say, says Hayley. Desperate to make things right with Phoebe, Roy suggests they all go to the harvest supper together - as a family.
