There鈥檚 surprising news at Bridge Farm, and Kenton has a trick up his sleeve.
Kenton鈥檚 struggling to make the morris dancing steps stick despite Jazzer鈥檚 coaching. Jolene鈥檚 impatient. Kenton insists it鈥檚 just the final fine points he鈥檚 wrestling with. Jolene gives him one more hour. They have a pub to run and the bar鈥檚 busy. When he adds sticks to the routine she鈥檚 horrified; someone will get injured. Reluctantly Kenton agrees to keep it just to the dancing. Later Kenton concedes defeat 鈥� he鈥檚 never going to get it in time. Jazzer will just have to take over as instructor. Jazzer starts to refuse until Kenton offers to throw drinks in to the deal as well as food 鈥� only Jazzer can鈥檛 tell Jolene.
Emma and Pat reveal to Tom that the storm tank plans Emma showed Martyn Gibson were fictitious, cleverly doctored by Brad. Emma adds that she inferred Feargal Sharkey was on their team and the news would go national. Amused Tom鈥檚 happy to help with today鈥檚 publicity stunt, two excavators and a banner positioned outside the offices of Borsetshire Water. They look impressive. Tom suggests they can get the diggers going for some live movement. He asks what the next stage in the protest will be. Pat doesn鈥檛 know; she just hopes this threat is enough to persuade Borsetshire Water to buck up their ideas. They鈥檙e disappointed the Echo aren鈥檛 coming, but Tom arrives with the news that one of the board members has threatened resignation unless the Ambridge treatment works are improved. The protest鈥檚 worked! What鈥檚 more the goats are starting to deliver 鈥� there鈥檒l be kids just in time for Easter weekend.
