Brian’s at his GP appointment with Azra where he explains about his tightening chest symptom. He only has it when he’s in the cottage. When Azra probes to see if there’s been any changes in his living environment, Brian remembers that Hilda has just started living with him. Azra thinks Brian may have some kind of allergy to the cat. Later Brian turns up at Bridge farm with Hilda, explaining his possible cat allergy. Tony’s not convinced but after more guilt tripping from Brian, realises he doesn’t have any choice but to have Hilda. However, when Tony tries feeding her, Hilda attacks him. Later at The Bull and recovering from his feline injuries, Tony wonders to Brian if he hallucinated seeing the cricket ground full of sheep. Brad’s frantically looking everywhere to find evidence to support Bert’s entry for the Longest Drinker at The Bull competition. The Bull’s announcing the winner tonight and Brad’s only got until lunchtime to present his results to Jolene and Kenton. Chelsea suggests fixing it so Bert wins, otherwise Bert says he’ll boycott The Bull. When Brad accidentally lets slip about Ed’s sheep, Chelsea threatens to tell Tracy unless Brad sorts something with Bert. Later Jolene and Kenton feel bad about getting Brad involved. However, they’d spotted that Chelsea was trying to pull a fast one when she tried to convince them that Bert should win. They despair about how to choose between Neville and Bert and decide on tossing a coin. But as they toss the coin ready to announce the winner, there’s a loud bang as the lights go out.
