Emma soothes Ed's fears, and things are not good at Ambridge Organics.

Emma's keen to chat with Alan and get her wedding booked in at St Stephens for mid-May. Ed seems reluctant, though. It's not that he doesn't want to get married. He's worried about money, but also admits that Will and Emma's wedding at St Stephens is on his mind. Emma looks forward to the new start though, with Keira excited about being a bridesmaid. Ed comes around and they agree to see Alan on Thursday.

Kenton has a surprise holiday in Australia planned for Jolene in February. He also wants to revamp the Bull - persuading Freda to retire will be a challenge. Fallon hints that Kenton should consider Emma for catering help at the Bull, as Fallon soon hopes to set up her Ambridge Tea Rooms. They joke about Bert, who's planning his own major poetry cycle (A Borsetshire Boy), inspired by A E Housman.

Johnny's feeling miserable after failing his Maths and English exams - and he's too proud to 'show himself up' by visiting the college's Learning Support team. More happily, Tony's more mobile and gets measured for crutches.

Sales are down at Organics and Helen wonders whether it's Tina's fault - and whether she should get back into the shop herself. Sensing that Tom has been interfering, Rob suggests that Helen speaks to him before looking elsewhere for advice.
