Michael is planning to go to The Woolpack that evening; he is hoping that Alan will lift the ban. Kim is looking good for the Hotten Show. Frank is confident that she will win the showjumping event. He is not so happy that the other villagers are not willing to support him in trying to put Beckindale on the map by entering the Hotten Show. Jack is convinced that Annie has got a boyfriend. He thinks that it is funny. Chris invites Alex out for a meal and a trip to the casino. He is going to go until he finds out that Kathy is not invited. Annie is planning to enter the cake competition at the Hotten Show. She encourages Sarah to do the same. Frank wants to organise a tug of war team for the Hotten Show.

Frank challenges Alan to a tug of war match - Holiday Village vs. Woolpack. Melanie comes to see Mark. Archie is worried about Nick's diet. He doesn't seem to be eating properly and is just buying food for Alice. He insists on paying Archie. Mark and Melanie make up. Nick assures Archie that his finances are okay now that his benefits have been sorted. Melanie wants to go to Glasgow University with Mark. Seth is still upset about Meg spending all his money. Jack refuses Alan's offer to be captain of his tug of war contest. Joe then asks Jack to be on his team and he refuses. Jack realises that he would be against the Home Farm team if he goes on Alan's side so he agrees to take part. Joe takes it in good spirit. Michael boldly walks in the Woolpack. Alex and Kathy play Scrabble. Alan reinforces Michael's ban. Seth and Carol stick up for him and Alan relents until Elizabeth interferes.
