==Plot==
Jackie rushes off for his first day of work at Hotten Cattle Market. Donald questions Barbara on where she was the other night and she explains that her car broke down and Joe rescued her. She admits that she talked her problems over with Joe, insisting she slept in the spare room. She also confesses that she had an affair with somebody about five years ago leaving Donald disappointed. Annie offers her help to Dolly with the food for Samuel's christening. Donald tells Annie that Barbara spent the night at 3 Demdyke Row in the spare room. She agrees to have a word with Joe. Pat tags along with Jack to the market in order to witness Jackie in action at work. Joe invites Barbara to the market with him. Annie warns Sam not to set his heart on being Samuel's godfather when he seems sure he will be. On Alan's advice, Joe is forced to call another local haulier to transport the cattle to market as quickly as possible when NY Estates' breaks down. Pat sets her heart on a cow at the market but Jack refuses. Barbara encourages her to buy it anyway but Pat notes she doesn't have enough money to buy it on her own. Sam drops hints about being a godfather in front of Dolly and Matt. Annie puts him off the idea. NY Estates cattle are refused at the market as the RSPCA Inspector noticed the truck wasn't partitioned. He threatens the driver with prosecution. Jack gets a surprise when he arrives back at the landrover to discover that Pat has bought a goat and named her Annabel. Annie confronts Joe over Barbara when he calls at the farm. He admits she stayed in the spare room. Annie encourages him to steer clear of gossip considering Barbara is a married woman and advises him to stay away. Joe is annoyed by her words.
