On Remembrance Sunday, Rex reads well. Alan's grateful for the goose given to the Elms for Christmas - Rex and Toby want to get stuck into village life, but can't be tempted by Alan to become bell ringers. Alan and Shula debate war and peace and discuss Alan's refugee relief project. They also debate hunting - Alan's with Jill, who's looking forward to moving back to Brookfield next week. Meanwhile, Dan's looking forward to his 21st birthday party on Friday - he seems to have invited a lot of people.
Joe worries about Bartley - he should be back at Keepers tethered in the garden, especially at this time of year, and he's also without company. Joe thinks they should take up in Keepers like squatters to defy Hazel Woolley, but Eddie's against the idea. Joe can't see any use in applying for social housing. Meanwhile, Ed points out the To Let sign has gone up at Keepers. Ed has a proposal for Joe and Eddie - when 1 The Green is repaired, why don't they move in there? - and Ed and Emma can carry on at Ambridge View. No, says Eddie - that just creates a new problem for Ed and Emma. Eddie's determined to find somewhere to live - and show Hazel Woolley she can't keep the Grundys down.
