Nick is convinced that Elsa has probably had an abortion. Jock is late for work again and Seth tells him off. Frank tells Nick that he is slacking at Home Farm. He warns him to pull his socks up. Kate asks Joe about holding a surprise party for Annie's 70th birthday. Dolly receives her decree absolute. Kim asks her if she is going to celebrate. Rachel sets off for her driving test. She is confident. Dolly takes off her wedding ring. Amos has still got a dodgy neck and is dressed like Noel Coward in a dressing gown and cravate. Nick confronts Michael and finds out that Elsa is staying in Knaresborough. Joe and Henry discuss the farm finances and Henry asks Joe if they can economise in any way. Rachel passes her driving test and wants to drive home. Sarah refuses to let her drive saying she is too excited. Sarah then drives straight into a concrete bollard outside the test centre. Seth is suspicious when Jock buys him a drink and seems to have a wad of money. Chris asks Kathy if she would like to work as his receptionist, she refuses. Annie is unhappy to see that Dolly has removed her wedding ring. Sarah is worried about Kate's car as the oil is leaking. Seth realises that Jock has been stealing trout to sell. Joe is furious about the car. Henry notices that Amos is starching his shirt collars too stiff and that must be causing his stiff and itchy neck. Mark is jealous that Rachel is getting a car. Dolly asks Frank's advice about investing her divorce settlement. He tells her to invest in property. Joe gives Rachel the bad news - they can no longer afford to buy her a car as the escort is a write off.
