Plot

Joe reveals his idea for stopping Frank's caravan site. He proposes that Emmerdale Farm should also apply for a licence for a caravan site, reckoning that they've got a field that's more suited and that if there is to be a site, it might as well be run properly. Henry is impressed but Matt is sceptical. Matt is also unhappy about Dolly's advancing relationship with David, especially when he finds out that he is taking her to Leeds on a night out.
