Fallon’s still struggling to get time with Tom to talk about the Tearoom business. She shares her frustrations with Susan, who reckons the Bridge Farm lot are all very busy these days. Fallon’s sceptical, and wonders what else might be going on. Susan genuinely doesn’t know. Fallon laments she’s got loads of ideas for the Tearoom to share. Susan counsels her to insist on a meeting in that case. Later Fallon tells Tony she feels she’s being given the run around. Tony agrees to pin down a time with Tom tomorrow. Thrown together at Ambridge View, George and Brad bicker. Fed up Susan confiscates George’s games console. When this doesn’t work she tells them they’ll need to help Eddie paint her summerhouse. The boys hurriedly agree to be nicer to each other, but Susan doesn’t relent, and they’re set to work on the paint job. Eddie agrees they can just paint one side, to show willing, as he doesn’t intend to pay them. Eddie cheerfully shares his plans for the fete now that Lynda’s suitably distracted working on her souvenir brochure. Brad asks George how much he hopes to raise for charity with his haybale stacking. George is hoping for a fair bit, with loads of folk having a go. Brad promises to get Jazzer to bring all his mates. George thanks Brad. However there’s soon a skirmish over an unpainted section of the summerhouse, and the boys manage to spatter appalled Susan with paint. With no end to the squabbling, Eddie despairs.
