It's May Day in Ambridge, and PC Burns steps into the breach.

May Day begins with disaster for Lynda. Ian has to tend to a wounded chef, leaving Lynda in need of someone to present the prizes for the cake competition. Lynda's then stranded with a flat bicycle tyre. PC Burns comes to her aid and drives her back to Ambridge. 

Burns notices Pat, who had asked to speak to him later. Burns wonders what it could be about. Fallon tells Burns about Tom and how he jilted Kirsty and then disappeared.

Emma enjoys some kids' gossip about Lynda being arrested for drink-driving. When Lynda overhears Emma talking about it, she says it must have come from Tilly Button - the May Queen.

PC Burns buys an item from Fallon and suggests that she consider going into business. She has a knack for doing up old junk.

Nic wins a prize for her cake. Emma is naturally put out. Clarrie's shocked and delighted to win two prizes, for Special Occasion and Most Creative cake.

PC Burns is revealed as the guest presenter of the prizes. He gets tongues wagging with a little kiss on Fallon's cheek when giving her a prize. Fallon's annoyed with Burns for 'taking advantage'. Lynda later tells Fallon to snap him up while he's still available.
