Yorkshire Water are causing disruption in the village with roadworks and noise. Alan spots Seth coming out of the post office with his pension and confides in Elizabeth that he worries about Seth being mugged carrying cash around. He refuses to open a bank account so Elizabeth suggests that Alan starts to pay him by cheque so he will have no choice. Sarah is in a panic trying to tidy up for Annie's return. Joe and Jack tease her about how clean it will have to be to pass Annie's high standards. Mark finally comes clean and tells Rachel that he has been ringing chatlines. She is furious.
