James sets his sights on The Mill. The villagers gather for the Harvest Festival celebrations. Kathy persuades Joe to come. Jim's suspicious when Henry begins to tell Kathy something in his presence, but she cuts him off. Annie recognises Kathy's bracelet when she gives her a drink. Freda tells Annie that Kenny gave it to her when they married. Annie subtly lets Joe that she now knows he was lying when he said it was Christine's. He spots Kathy dancing with James. Amos and Sam gossip about James and Kathy in Jim's earshot as she dances with him. An angry Jim stops Matt from dancing with Freda, and forces Kathy, Freda and Davey to return home early.

==Notes==
*In a change to the end credits sequence for this episode, the credits played over footage of people leaving the Harvest Festival and the band playing in the background.
*Fourteen pupils from Arncliffe Church of England School took part in this episode as fully paid extras playing the "devils" that torment the village elders in the Harvest Supper festivities. The pupils may have struggled to see themselves appear on TV however as the village of Arncliffe reportedly lay in a fold of hills that made it impossible to receive ITV at the time of broadcast. The school closed its doors after 135 years in 2011.
*TV Times synopsis: Sam musters the over-seventies and someone is conspicuous by his absence. But much more serious trouble lies ahead at the Harvest Supper...
