Temperatures are raised behind closed curtains. Meanwhile, the curtains at the village hall are proudly hung.

Lynda wants Rob to be the guest of honour at the garden's opening, after his display of heroism during last year's floods. Rob reiterates that Helen probably isn't up to attending these special events.
Clarrie, Susan and Neil are helping out hanging the new curtains at the Village Hall. Eddie and Lynda, however, are distracted by the garden. Lynda takes her eye off the ball for a second and the curtains end up hanging at different lengths! Susan proposes that they have a picnic for the Queen's birthday, but Lynda frets that another event would steal her garden's thunder. Neil reckons the two events could complement each other.
Helen is in a confused daze. She tells Rob that she thinks the time has come for Ursula to go. Rob is worried that Ursula might hear Helen's disparaging comments. Helen complains that Ursula has been stifling, and Henry doesn't feel like her son anymore. Rob calls Helen ungrateful, and says that the problem is Helen's - not Ursula's - behaviour. Rob says that he "wanted a wife and mother for his child and look what he ended up with". Helen goes to strike Rob, he stops her, and strikes her. Later, Rob manages to pass the blame to Helen: she backed him into a corner. She apologises. Rob decides that it is time Helen got some psychiatric help.
