Crispin surprises Alan by arriving unannounced to discuss Peggy’s funeral arrangements. He suggests brightly that Alan should box with him sometime, before pointing out the advantage of him not conducting the funeral is that he’ll be able to immerse himself in the service as a fellow mourner. With the appearance of Kate and Jakob to discuss things further Alan takes his leave – but not before Crispin makes a good natured aside about his motorbike. Crispin familiarises himself with Peggy’s family members before explaining some of the finer points of the service. Kate notices he has a shoulder twinge and offers him a massage to help ease it. Jakob’s dubious but Crispin’s tempted.

Later Kate defends her gran’s choice of vicar to Alan. Alan’s pleased she feels she can work with Crispin. Kate assures him she can. She wonders whether Alan would mind standing at the back for the service, or even outside to marshall mourners if it’s very busy. Afterwards Jakob thinks this was a little nasty of Kate but she feels justified; referring back to the past, she asserts that Alan should have approved Peggy’s window.
Helen’s given David a cheese hamper as a thank you for saving Bridge Farm’s Open Farm Sunday. She notices Tony’s quiet, and he admits he’s worried about carrying his mum’s coffin at the funeral. Henry asks tentatively if he might do it instead of his granddad. Grateful Tony thanks him – it would be a huge weight off his mind. He tells Henry he’s a very special boy.
