Sunday 29th August
Nigel, Elizabeth, Eddie, David, Bert
- Elizabeth is still worried about the children going to school. Nigel agrees to think about it. After a chat with David at the Steam Rally, Nigel realises the most important thing is Lizzie not getting stressed about it because of her heart condition and so agree they will look for a new school.
- Eddie has bullied David into buying him a ticket to the dairy show and now had persuades him to give him and Ed a lift so that they can have a few pints.
- Nigel tells Bert about his allotment plans. They think of a site which is in view for people to see but not in the area of the wedding photos. They think of a place near the rare breeds and Bert agrees to become the allotment adviser.

Monday 30th August
Robert, Lynda, Fallon, Jolene, Lilian, Kathy
- Jolene still seems completely unfocussed. She's done no preparation for the interviews at all. And she can't even remember that they had invited Lilian to sit in. One of the candidates - Citz seems a little unusual. An anti capitalist protester. Kathy is very taken aback. Fallon seems to get on with her but Lilian isn't having any of it - a festival groupie isn't really what they were looking for. They choose a Welsh guy called Rhys. But Jolene doesn't care, she still doesn't see a future for herself at the Bull.
- Lynda and Robert were initially pleased that their b&b guests were adults and the children were staying at the campsite. But it's clear that the children have been in to use the bathroom which are in a terrible state.
- Kathy is still convinced Jamie is totally devastated at the loss of Sid though Fallon seems to think he's feeling better. Meanwhile, Kathy is focussing on the dinner dance at the golf club. Since even Kenton is coming it should be good.

Tuesday 31st August
Helen, Kirsty, Jazzer, Fallon, Jolene
- Bridge Farm is gearing up for their Local Food Day. Lots of local suppliers seem very enthusiastic and the Borchester Echo is planning to cover it. Meanwhile Helen has had another scan and some additional tests including for Down's Syndrome but it isn't critical for her. She will have the baby regardless of any problems it has. There really is no need to worry and she's working on her birthing plan. Kirsty's concern does worry her a bit though.
- Fallon is pleased Rhys is going to start in the bar next week but Jolene is still completely uninterested. When Jazzer lets slip that she is planning to sell up Fallon simply can't believe it. It's her home.
- Fallon confronts Jolene to ask her if she is thinking of giving up the pub and is shocked to learn that Lilian already knows. Jolene explains her heart just isn't in it anymore. It's Sid's place and every corner reminds her of him. Every day is just torture. Fallon can't believe it, she loves the Bull, Jolene might not be able to bear the pub, but Fallon couldn't bear to be without it. It's her life. She begs her to give it more time. And Jolene reluctantly agrees.

Wednesday 1st September
Nic, Harry, Helen, Kirsty, William, Tom
- It's been Mia's first day at school. Nic was more upset than she was. Harry has been at the school supporting his sister on his nephew's first day. Nic is hoping that she might be able to do more lunchtime shifts at the Bull but William is very reluctant.
- Helen is having problems with their distributors for the Food Open Day. Kirsty is resigned but Helen is less than impressed. Plans are well advanced when they have a visitor from Environmental Health. The temperature in one of the chiller cabinets is too high. So Helen gets into a panic - especially when the record book doesn't turn up. She bursts into tears and says she is so tired and now she is worried about the test as well. Tom and Kirsty send her home for an early night.
- Will is obviously suspicious about who Nic is meeting at the Bull and so turns up with the children pretending Mia is missing her which Mia innocently says she isn't. Doesn't stop Will taking the opportunity to point out forcefully to Harry what a happy family they all are.
