Mike cannot believe what Vicky is saying.

Mike cannot believe what Vicky is saying, and Susan takes Neil's breath away.

Susan nervously shows Neil her bold new hairdo. He's rather taken aback but just about manages to cover his shock He reassures Susan it's lovely - just a bit different. Susan's making an effort for Jennifer's kitchen warming party.

Susan gossips about Loxfest. Apparently Roy and Elizabeth have booked a real thug as their headliner.

Mike and Vicky discuss his possible retirement. She can see the benefits and he'll still have plenty to keep him busy with Bethany. Susan shows off her new hairstyle to Vicky, mentioning that Neil's very taken with it.

Vicky shocks Mike by saying she thinks they should leave Ambridge and find a school for Bethany in Birmingham. It seems the best thing for the family.

Tony and Neil move Otto the bull into Six Acre, to give him his first look at the beef herd. Watching him go, they agree Otto's definitely fertile.

The headline in the Borchester Echo implicates Roy and Elizabeth as completely relaxed about the rumours surrounding Quaintance Smith's singer. Horrified at the assumption that they don't care about domestic violence, Roy wonders how much damage the article is going to do Lower Loxley.
