Dan Middleton arrives at Smithy Cottage to see Frank. Janie looks after him until Frank returns from the village. Annie worries about keeping the farmhouse in order with her arm. Dan invites Frank and Janie to dinner at The Feathers on Friday. Janie's delighted, having never been there. Henry's bed arrives at the village store. Matt worries about Annie getting a decent night sleep and wonders whether Beattie should have the twins for a while.
