There's a funeral at St Stephens. Meanwhile, Roy's getting irritable.

At John Tregorran's funeral service, Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye seems in poor taste to Susan but it made Jill smile. Susan is still troubled by not being invited to Jennifer's kitchen warming.
Jennifer notes Carol's lovely eulogy. Susan is still dropping hints about Jennifer and John's supposed affair.
Carol and Jill are delighted to see each other. Susan introduces herself and Carol clocks her as the fount of all village knowledge. Carol seems surprisingly robust about the service and occasion. Only one of Carol's two children, Anna, is there. There's no sign of Richard, who Carol points out is doing what he needs to do. Carol remembers life in Borsetshire and wonders what might have happened if she'd stayed.
At the party at Lower Loxley, Carol talks fondly with Elizabeth. Carol isn't shy in gossiping about the locals. She mentions Brian's roving eye to Jennifer. Carol admires her as a more forgiving wife than she'd ever be.
Carol stops Peggy on her way out and asks what happened to her steely sparkle. They agree to get together tomorrow and look at some old photos of Jack.
Forced to serve drinks like a waiter, Roy feels angry and belittled as Elizabeth's hired hand. He storms away, telling Elizabeth to find someone else to be her plaything.
