Lynda drops entry forms in to Lilian at the Dower House, to be distributed for the Flower & Produce Show, which Grey Gables is hosting. Lynda admits she and Dane now make rather a good team; the show will retain the finest Ambridge tradition. She then reflects on the lessons learned from forgetting to thank Akram, and the current coolness between her and Robert. She gratefully accepts Lilian’s offer of a meal at The Bull.

Brian bumps into them there and queries Lynda’s decision to leave Ambridge. Lynda tells him it was a joke – she’s not going anywhere. Inviting Brian to join them Lilian and Lynda play a lighthearted game about who should leave the village first, cheering each other up in the process.

When Martyn tells Jazzer he can’t believe Marlene likes him, Jazzer assures Martyn that tonight’s double-date will be fine. They’ll have a good night. He tells a different story to Tracy though – he’s dreading every minute. Tracy tells him to shut up and make the best of it. But after an hour with Martyn at the restaurant waiting for Marlene to show up, the atmosphere is excruciating. Then Tracy gets a message: Marlene isn’t coming. Jazzer’s all for eating the meal anyway, but Tracy suggests going for kebabs instead. Later tearful Martyn confirms it’s all over between him and Marlene. Jazzer suggests Martyn might prefer to be alone, but he wants to stay. He's grateful for their friendship. To Jazzer’s horror Tracy assures Martyn their door will always be open.
