Ed is out shopping, and Joe has got a problem.

Eddie and Ed are looking at second-hand tractors for Ed's new business when Eddie is attracted by a shiny newer one which he persuades Ed to buy. Their viewing is interrupted by a panicky call from Joe who's worried that Daphne the ferret is about to be killed, as Caroline has called in the pest controllers at Grey Gables.

Alistair thinks he may have found some temporary accommodation for his surgery. He tells Shula they'll need to get back quickly after Dan's passing out parade, as he has an appointment to view the property in Penny Hassett. Fortunately Shula's dress has arrived in time, and Alistair assures her she will look every inch the officer's mother.

The Grundys are frantically trying to find Daphne before the pest controllers poison her. They're caught in the laundry room by Roy, who produces Daphne from his pocket. Roy offers to look after the ferrets at his home.

Eddie says they've had a successful day all round but Ed is worried about having committed to the tractor without discussing it with Emma.
