Kenton’s struggling to make the morris dancing steps stick despite Jazzer’s coaching. Jolene’s impatient. Kenton insists it’s just the final fine points he’s wrestling with. Jolene gives him one more hour. They have a pub to run and the bar’s busy. When he adds sticks to the routine she’s horrified; someone will get injured. Reluctantly Kenton agrees to keep it just to the dancing. Later Kenton concedes defeat – he’s never going to get it in time. Jazzer will just have to take over as instructor. Jazzer starts to refuse until Kenton offers to throw drinks in to the deal as well as food – only Jazzer can’t tell Jolene.

Emma and Pat reveal to Tom that the storm tank plans Emma showed Martyn Gibson were fictitious, cleverly doctored by Brad. Emma adds that she inferred Feargal Sharkey was on their team and the news would go national. Amused Tom’s happy to help with today’s publicity stunt, two excavators and a banner positioned outside the offices of Borsetshire Water. They look impressive. Tom suggests they can get the diggers going for some live movement. He asks what the next stage in the protest will be. Pat doesn’t know; she just hopes this threat is enough to persuade Borsetshire Water to buck up their ideas. They’re disappointed the Echo aren’t coming, but Tom arrives with the news that one of the board members has threatened resignation unless the Ambridge treatment works are improved. The protest’s worked! What’s more the goats are starting to deliver – there’ll be kids just in time for Easter weekend.
