Elona is feeling low, and Brenda is having a bad day.

Hungover Darrell skips breakfast to get to Home Farm on time. When Elona stops at the shop on her way to work, Jill asks if she's thought of joining the WI. With her family and shift work, Elona doesn't think she'd have time.
Brenda's got loads to do but Lilian needs to go to Felpersham so she piles her work onto Brenda. On her way to book out a departing tenant, Brenda bumps into Vicky who's out with Bethany. Seeing Bethany cheers Brenda up.
Darrell gets a call from Des, who's got a proposition for him - a nice little earner. Des is looking for a new venue for some 'sporting evenings' which he and some mates organize. He's sure there's a suitable isolated building at Home Farm. All Darrell needs to do is unlock gates and guide people in. Darrell fobs Des off by saying he'll think about it.
Vicky comes into the village shop, upset by a remark from Pat Fletcher, who clearly doesn't understand that Bethany is a precious gift.
On her return, Lilian has no sympathy for Brenda, who's had a really stressful day. She reminds Brenda who's the boss.
Elona's upset. Her hours have been reduced and she doesn't know how they'll manage. She wants Darrell to speak to the mates he was out with last night, to see if they know of any work.
