The past returns to haunt Chelsea, and battle lines are drawn over the village fete.
Brad waits with Chelsea at the Tearoom to talk to Amber about wedding venues. But when Amber turns up she doesn鈥檛 come inside. Amber then explains to Brad outside that Chelsea bullied her at school. Bullying and how to deal with it is a huge part of Amber鈥檚 online content. When Mia walks up awkward Brad introduces her to Amber. Amber hugs Mia, before pointing out that Brad and Mia used to be an item. Brad excuses himself to go to an appraisal with Dane. Amber then pronounces he clearly hasn鈥檛 got over Mia. Despite Amber鈥檚 uncritical view of George and her antipathy towards Neil and Susan, Mia invites her for a walk on Friday. Later, Brad and Mia force mortified Chelsea to accept Amber鈥檚 bullying claims. Mia then offers Chelsea the chance of reconciliation with Amber by inviting Chelsea along on Friday too.
Dane shows Oliver some sketches he鈥檚 had done, depicting how the fete will look at Grey Gables. Oliver鈥檚 amazed Lynda agreed to it being relocated, warning Dane to watch out when Lynda realises what Dane is suggesting. Sure enough, Lynda is fuming when she interrupts Brad鈥檚 appraisal to charge Dane with kidnapping the fete. Dane argues for the positives Grey Gables can offer, but Lynda accuses him of putting the hotel鈥檚 interests above the community鈥檚. Brad fetches Oliver, whose emollient words, backed by Dane鈥檚 successful booking of several rides and the Hollerton Silver Band, allow Lynda to accept the relocation 鈥 but only so long as she鈥檚 allowed to organise three 鈥渧illage-devised events鈥 as well.
