Neil has had to borrow a pair of Frank's shell suit bottoms. Elizabeth calls at Home Farm and Kim makes an excuse as to why Neil is there.

Michael doesn't realise that he is Rachel's new boyfriend. Mark has finished in the ditch. Kathy finds Kim in tears in the stables. She tells Kathy that her affair has got out of hand. She doesn't want it to end though and will not stop seeing Neil but she loves both men. Annie has given Joe a letter to post for Leonard, addressed to a hotel in London.
