It is Rachel's first day at work and she misses her bus. Elsa tells Archie to clean up the 3 Demdyke Row. Rachel asks Pete to give her a lift into Skipdale and promises a kiss if she is on time. Henry tells Amos that Beckindale is to get a new curate - a young man from London. He tries to encourage Amos to do his physiotherapy exercises, but he is feeling a bit depressed about being so immobile. Joe is annoyed when Kate neglects her farm work to spend time with Fran. Eric refuses to answer a telephone call from Councillor Charlie Aindow and seems to begin to panic. Elizabeth calls at 3 Demdyke Row and tells Nick and Elsa that she has a proposition to put to them. She asks Nick and Elsa if they want to come and live at Blackthorn Farm, adding that she still does not approve of them wanting to get married. Archie calls to see Zoe and asks her for a drink.
