Sandie Merrick has welcomed her new lodgers at Mill Cottage. They are Kate and her teenage children Rachel and Mark. Mark and Rachel now have to adjust to living in new surroundings. Turner is nursing a massive hangover and even has a touch of diarrhoea. Joe meets Kate again at the local supermarket. She says that is her day job. Kate says she saw Denis Rigg at The Feathers last night with a well dressed big man with a posh voice. Joe suspects it was Turner. Alan has not yet met Kate officially. Joe worries that Denis is trying to play him and Alan into selling their shares in Home Farm.
