Harrison is keen to enjoy a rare joint afternoon off with Fallon but Fallon is preoccupied with putting the finishing touches to her scarecrow. Harrison shares the gossip that the fete, or at least the scarecrow competition, could be cancelled thanks to Audrey and Hilary. Later, while picking up litter on Fallon鈥檚 suggestion, Harrison meets Lynda who declares the fete鈥檚 scarecrow trail is definitely going ahead but she鈥檚 revealing nothing about the event鈥檚 mystery celebrity.

Brian and Jennifer are pleased to hear from Ruairi, who鈥檚 arrived in Ireland. Brian momentarily wondered if his subdued reaction to Ruairi telling them he was bisexual has anything to do with him leaving Ambridge so quickly. But he pushes this thought away and lays the blame fully at Alice鈥檚 door. Then, Brian and Jennifer discover that Alice has gone; it looks like she鈥檚 taken luggage too. They make calls and word spreads round the village quickly. Alice is missing.

Lynda summons Harrison to The Bull where their scarecrow, already out for the fete鈥檚 trail, has been adapted to look like Alice. Meanwhile, Brian is about to begin a search when Jennifer gets a text from Alice: she鈥檚 alright and she鈥檒l be in touch soon. Brian鈥檚 not sure how much more he can take of Alice鈥檚 antics, but Jennifer suggests they just need to let them happen. Brian wonders what to do if she doesn鈥檛 want to get better. Perhaps we have to let that happen too, replies Jennifer.
