The Dingles send Val packing and she is forced to borrow furniture from elsewhere. A judge soon arrives at The Woolpack and despite enjoying a meal, comments about the dodgy furnishings. Diane is furious and sends Val round to pay the Dingles' ransom! Lily excitedly prepares herself for the cruise with Pearl but disaster strikes when Joe accidentally drops a suitcase on her foot. Lily realises that she is in too much pain to go with Pearl and Pearl is secretly pleased that she can invite Joe instead.
