Attempts continue to get Mrs Ratcliffe back to work on the tapestry. Henry persuades Annie to have a word with her but it appears to be in vain. Donald said some unforgivable things about her and for that she is packing in and that's the end of it. Meanwhile at the Vicarage, Donald is just coming to terms with his son Clive coming to Beckindale when he is faced with the arrival of another visitor. He goes by the name of Rod Blake, an associate of Clive who has come to help him with the mine surveying.
