David does his best, and Joe speaks from the heart.

Worried Jill is keen to lend Kenton some money, but David feels if anyone is to help it should be him and Ruth. David and Kenton must talk soon, for the sake of their relationship and the pub.
Rachel from the Environment Agency reports back to David on the stream and culverts up near Berrow Farm. They were checked last November. As one of them has since been blocked, was someone not doing their job properly?

David's putting together a best practice document for protecting buildings in future. He asks Rob about why the dairy was unaffected during the flood. Rob says that Berrow took no special precautions.

Pip's got her job interview and David and Ruth agree it'd be a great opportunity. David mentions his chat with Rob - if the culvert hadn't been blocked, Berrow could have come off very differently. They'll probably never know exactly what happened.

Eddie jokes about Jazzer voting in the Election. Joe lays into non-voters, mentioning Russell Brand.

Joe and Eddie practice singing a couple of traditional songs for Ed's wedding reception, before Joe heads with Ed to Grange Farm, enjoying the new tractor (Joe can remember the first tractor arriving in Ambridge.)

Joe presses Ed about asking Will to be his best man - Eddie would happily step aside. Ed says he'll think about it.
