Helen and Rob make the most of Sunday morning; her parents are in blissful innocence.

Radio Times: Tony becomes antagonistic and Helen feels vulnerable.

Characters: Helen, Kathy, Neil, Pat, Rob, Tony

• Her baby-sitting parents think Helen has gone to town. They are wrong: she’s spending Sunday morning in Rob’s bed; she will stay for lunch, indeed she will get it.
• Meanwhile Pat is finding Henry a bit stroppy and decides to take him to the playground. Tony accompanies them; he has been assessing how far they can stretch the proceeds of the herd sale: sadly, not as far as a tractor but they will defer telling Tom until after they have seen the financial adviser.
• Meeting Kathy on The Green, Neil reports that the silent film night raised £2800 making £18.2k so far. On the strength of this he has booked the repairers for February. When all are gathered together, Neil persuades Tony to join him in The Bull, leaving Pat to hear about Kathy’s latest golf club woes.
• In Blossom Hill Cottage, Rob suggests that they make the most of the next couple of months before the cows arrive, making him very busy. They agree to a dinner date on Friday, somewhere far afield so they will not be spotted. Now Helen must go to relieve the baby-sitters and Rob heads for The Bull …
• … where he is given a warm welcome by Neil but a distinctly cool one by Tony, who soon returns to his wife.
• Helen arrives at the playground just in time to hear Pat invite Kathy to a play on Friday. No matter: Tony, who wouldn’t have wanted to go anyway, offers to babysit Henry on his own. Would he have been so accommodating if he knew that the friend Helen is going out with is ‘you know who’, as he calls Rob – or that she won’t be back ’til morning?
