Neil鈥檚 chuffed the bank will loan them fifteen thousand pounds. Emma鈥檚 at her wits end; with Chris鈥檚 nineteen hundred and Will鈥檚 three thousand it鈥檚 still not enough to reduce the mortgage. The exchange is tomorrow - why is everyone so reluctant to help?
At Grey Gables, Lynda is sceptical of Ben and Ruairi鈥檚 big plans for the fete and their mysterious solution for dunk the vicar. A frantic Emma arrives with Ed's receptionist job application and Lynda鈥檚 nose is put out of joint as Emma finishes the application herself before handing it in. Later, Ben reveals his decision to hire a YouTube celebrity as the fete鈥檚 dunkee. Lynda is appalled and offers up herself for the greater good.
Neil phones Emma to say Keira鈥檚 got Chickenpox. On the way to pick her up, Emma runs into Fallon. She offers her extra shifts at the tearoom but Emma鈥檚 had enough. Fallon won鈥檛 babysit Keira and she needs these hours at the chicken factory. Neil seems disappointed that Emma鈥檚 picking arguments with friends. She should just go home.
