Episode 3441 (15th May 2003)

Plot
Lisa starts to realise that she has taken too much on trying to get the Japanese order finished on time. It is taking it's toll on the workers and surely only a matter of time before the whole order is cancelled. With her back against the wall, Lisa hits on a way out and decides to order ornaments from elsewhere to complement Eric's own batch. Sam, meanwhile, is surprised to find himself warming to Tomiko. After trying to offload her by giving her the job of mucking out the pigs, he is suddenly taken by her approach to the job and her happy-go-lucky attitude to life and the feeling would appear mutual as Tomiko jumps to Sam’s defence when Shadrach tries to mock their friendship. Ronnie is working hard to get back in his wife’s good books and suggests that they should take a brief holiday alone and away from the kids and the village. Frances isn’t completely convinced and also points out the dangers of leaving the children alone after the last party disaster and Ronnie isn’t having it any easier with Louise, who accuses him of being a coward for not telling her that the affair was over. But Ronnie knows which side his bread is buttered on and defends Frances when Louise starts to insult her. Sure that Andy is now a true friend, Stephen feels confident in inviting him over for a few beers. Andy agrees with a certain degree of unease. But how will he react when brother Robert begins to tease him and suggest that they are going on a date together? Rodney and Steph put their heads together to ensure that the valuation day will be a sure-fire hit – but not everything is above board!
