It is karaoke night at the Bull, and Jazzer is in good voice.

Karaoke at the Bull is in full swing when Eddie's called away; there's an emergency at Brookfield. He arrives to find David and Pip fighting the rising water, and adds to their woes by announcing that the Am's burst its banks. Water is coming up the lane and over the fields. For now they concentrate on the parlour. Brave Eddie goes headfirst into a drain to try to stem the flow with a deflated football. It works.

They agree to put the Herefords on Lakey Hill and the dairy herd in a building on higher ground. David and Eddie leave Pip at the farm to finish milking.

A small crowd gathers by the bridge to watch the rising river. Jubilee Field has already vanished and Harrison Burns thinks it's a bit close for comfort. Fallon's sure it will be fine. Nevertheless Burns calls the police station and finds out Borchester's flooding too. Burns pulls the plug on the music to warn people.

In a tractor, David drops Eddie in the village and is soon enlisted to help evacuate homes. With the agreement of PC Burns he offers to take people to Grey Gables on his trailer.
