Tracy is worried about Chelsea, and can Pip help a friend with a dilemma?

Lynda and Stella meet while walking their dogs. Stella offers to help out with anything for the fete. Later, Stella tells Pip that Lynda has assigned her to replace Alan, who’s away, in the Dunk the Vicar event. Stella asks for clarification which Pip finds hilarious, and Stella gets annoyed. She reveals that she has a fear of water. Pip encourages her to tell Lynda she can’t do it, but Stella is unsure so Pip offers to go with her. Stella has a crisis of confidence, and faced with formidable Lynda she can’t go through withdrawing from Dunk the Vicar. Stella feels useless and Pip offers to help her out. They’ll go to a swimming pool together to try to get her used to water. 

Tracy thanks Chelsea for owning up to scratching Gemma’s car, and Chelsea apologises for not thinking through her actions. Under Russ’s supervision, she’s written a letter to Gemma apologising for what she did. Out of earshot from Chelsea, Tracy worries about what will happen when she hands the letter over. Jazzer checks in with Tracy at work. To Tracy’s surprise Gemma’s not said anything to her since she gave her the letter. They hope this means it’s all blown over. Back at home the relief felt by Tracy, Jazzer and Chelsea that the letter seemed to do the trick is short lived. Tracy receives an email threatening a private prosecution against Chelsea. Jazzer thinks Jim can help but Tracy feels overwhelmed by it all. Jazzer promises they’ll sort it.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
