Eddie has a trick up his sleeve, and tension rises at Beechwood.
Lee鈥檚 relieved to hear that he can start back at work tomorrow but hopes that Syksey doesn鈥檛 poke around to find out about why he鈥檚 been absent. When Lee wonders why Rob鈥檚 asked to meet him, Helen says that all that matters is that Lee keeps his cool. Whatever game Rob鈥檚 playing, they won鈥檛 let him win.
Eddie鈥檚 gathered the family together for lunch to discuss ideas for the fete. When Ed questions why Eddie鈥檚 cooking, Eddie explains it鈥檚 because he needs Clarrie to keep knitting ferrets. They went down a storm at the 鈥楩errety Fun鈥� stall, so Eddie plans to sell them again at the Village Fete.
Ed tells Eddie that things have settled down at Home Farm now Stella鈥檚 back in charge, with the new disc drill due to arrive on Wednesday. Chat turns to Tracy and Jazzer鈥檚 wedding next week, and Ed has some ideas for his best man鈥檚 speech. When he worries that his speech might be too similar to Jim鈥檚, Eddie suggests keeping it short and jokey; Jim鈥檚 will be full of long words and Latin quotations.
Eddie outlines his plan to take the family along to the fete committee meeting tomorrow, so that they will be the majority. They can then stage a takeover and take the fete into the twenty-first century. But Eddie thinks Lynda will need a distraction, while the Grundy family turn the fete into Ferret Fiesta. When Will asks Eddie what, Eddie says he can鈥檛 answer that, but he鈥檚 working on it.
