Emma and Ed face a dilemma and Alice is not happy

Emma鈥檚 incredulous Ed isn鈥檛 prepared to grass on fly tipper and old foe Tim Oatey. He was partly responsible for their marriage crisis! She ruins her trial bake of Nic鈥檚 Harvest Pie, and has to start again. Her second attempt鈥檚 better, and she鈥檚 able to follow through on her plan to deliver fresh slices with handwritten notes from the children to the gardening community, asking them to reconsider her Flower & Produce Show idea. It works! Bert and Jill are behind it; she just needs them to persuade the others, and for Clarrie to relinquish control of the veg patch.

Alice is out of booze. She heads to the shops to re-stock. She鈥檚 unhappy with her dad鈥檚 idea that she works at the farm. She鈥檚 had enough of being told what to do. As she drives she relents; she might have been a bit harsh. She resolves to call Brian and apologise. Later, having shared things with her dad and prepared a delicious dinner for Chris, she鈥檚 happy to have no more worries about working on the farm. She has a well-deserved Rioja break.

Ed thinks it would be a bad move to shop Tim Oatey. He considers just warning him off. Then he considers how Tim鈥檚 treated Emma in the past. After a tussle with his conscience he decides it鈥檚 Emma he owes, not Tim. He calls Crimestoppers.
