Kathy and Pat are at the village hall for the community shop meeting. Pat comments that Susan should be in a good mood after Peggy's generous offer and the dairy work Pat's offered her. Kathy worries that Kenton's not mourning Phil but feels left out when Pat tells her Kenton was touched at being left Phil's atlas. He hadn't told Kathy about it.

Brian tells the committee that hopefully the shop will open in June. Pat announces that Susan's agreed to be shop manager for two mornings a week and will cover the post office weekday afternoons. Along with Kathy, Susan will also order stock for the shop. Lynda and Kathy will be organising volunteer rotas, with Susan's help to train them up. Oliver updates everyone on fundraising. They're likely to get a grant to help them raise the money they need. There's been a lot of interest in buying shares for the shop, plus donations. When discussion turns to village fund-raising, Pat suggests putting on a talent show although Lynda dreads to think what it will be like without her direction.

Helen's has her appointment at the fertility clinic and is delighted to hear that she's been accepted for treatment. She rushes off to ring Ian.
