The candidates square up for battle and Caroline is concerned.

Will's offered to have George again on Thursday night. Emma could do with a lie-in so it would help a lot, but Ed isn't too sure if it's a good idea.

Lynda's getting signatures on Roy's leaving card. Oliver generously contributes some money towards a goodbye present. 

Caroline takes work home. Oliver hopes this isn't a sign of things to come. Caroline doesn't think Roy is making the right decision. He's limiting his future prospects.

If Lilian's re-elected to the parish council, she'll invite local firms to sponsor their own bit of verge and renovate it, while opponent Jill would like Ambridge to enter next year's Britain in Bloom contest. Lynda wants to help organise it. She and Jill decide they should advertise their idea before the election so people make an 'informed decision'. 

Lynda tells Lilian that she disagrees with her scheme, as the land she wishes to tidy up is in fact valuable wildlife habitat. Lilian attacks Jill and Lynda's plan for entering Ambridge into the Britain in Bloom competition but Lynda doesn't want to fall out. They agree to let the voters decide. On Friday morning they'll find out which of them is right.
