Vicky and Lynda go for a snowy walk and Lynda points out where they would have done the butterfly egg survey if it hadn't been for the bad weather forecast. Vicky compliments Lynda on her ability to get things done. If it wasn't for Lynda stopping Adam from flailing the hedge, there wouldn't be any butterfly eggs at all. This prompts Lynda to bring up the topic of Derek standing down as chairman of the parish council. It takes a while before Vicky takes the bait and suggests Lynda goes for it!

Susan's nervous about her job interview and irritates Brenda when she says she's sorry Brenda wasn't shortlisted, although she points out she has got more management experience. When Brenda moans to Mike, he says Susan was genuinely sorry about the interview. 

Mike, Ed, Brenda and Vicky have a meeting about the milk round. Everyone's impressed by Brenda's new flyer. Ed agrees to help drum up business after the flyer distribution. When Susan arrives telling them she didn't get the job, Vicky embarrasses Brenda saying she didn't need to be upset about it after all. Susan's fed up. Until she hears about the shop, she's just going to have to hope something turns up.
