Freddie’s still wrestling with fixing the toilet, following some instructions from Reg. His mum wants it fixed before the quiz – she doesn’t like everyone traipsing into her en-suite. But Freddie notes she’s not even going to the quiz. What’s she up to? In the attic looking for parts, he discovers some old toy soldiers, a picture of what could be part of the Lower Loxley grounds near the ha-ha, and to his shock the picture of Lynda that was used for the Ghost Stories last Christmas. It reminds him of her letter, and he opens it. It’s an apology for her outburst when he went to visit her in hospital. Freddie pledges to reply. Susan and Tracy have been virtual scrapping. Emma doesn’t want to take sides, but perhaps she’ll support her mum. Meanwhile, Ed’s in Wales with Jazzer on a shearing job and feels he’s caught in a tug of war between Tracy and Susan. He can’t be on both of their pub quiz teams so he tosses a coin for it. Emma’s aware it’s down to her to get Eddie and Will to turn the hay so it can be brought in before the weather breaks. In the end, she decides to do the job herself, with George’s help hitching up the tedder to the tractor. Savouring her success, she can’t wait to tell Ed.
