Radio Times: Fallon hopes to pick the fruits of her labour.

Characters: David, Ed, Fallon, Kathy, Kenton, Ruth

• David and Ruth are enjoying the grape picking and David is fantasising about a Brookfield vintage but Ruth thinks they’d starve! She is still worried about the breast reconstruction and why David won’t talk about it. So she blurts it out to Kenton anyway who is quite impressed but David copes with that even less well.
• Fallon also turns up at Lower Loxley to wish Ed a happy birthday. She wants him to come back to the Bull so she can give him her present and she finds out that he is going to be there anyway – all night with all his mates! She finds a moment to give him the Transformer anyway. He is absolutely thrilled! It’s the best present he’s had in years! But he’s so excited, she never gets to say what she wanted to say.
• Kenton tries a heart to heart with David about the breast reconstruction. And David tells him everything about Sam. He knows it is over and things are pretty much back where they were. But it’s left David with issues and he keeps imagining all sorts of things. Why does she want the op now? Does she just want to go off with someone else? Kenton just say he must talk to Ruth. It’s not healthy to go on the way things are.
• Kenton’s next task as amateur therapist is to try to persuade Kathy to talk to Nigel and Elizabeth but she doesn’t think they’ll believe her. Kenton says they are going to know sometime and they already know Owen lied. Kathy explains that what is really worrying her is that Owen might get bail and come back to Ambridge to find her.
