Freddie needs to find some new volunteers, and Alan starts to feel the nerves.

Harrison and Alan discuss Lent. This year Harrison鈥檚 giving up being a slave to his work. He can see how much Fallon gets out of community activities but he has so little time to take part at the moment. Neil lines him up to ring the bells for Jennifer鈥檚 funeral. He also suggests signing up for volunteering at Lower Loxley which he鈥檚 doing himself, but that鈥檚 not really Harrison鈥檚 thing.
Noluthando comes over to Lower Loxley for a change of scene. Lily and Freddie ask after her family and when she will be returning to South Africa. She then gets roped into Freddie鈥檚 recruitment drive for more volunteer guides. Along with Lily, the pair assess Neil鈥檚 credentials to join the Lower Loxley team. Neil feels like he鈥檚 been grilled. Afterwards, Freddie thinks Neil isn鈥檛 young enough but Lily reminds him that beggars can鈥檛 be choosers. Freddie鈥檚 disappointed in the lack of interest and wants to prove himself to Elizabeth.
Alan confides in Harrison that he鈥檚 feeling nervous about Jennifer鈥檚 funeral. Even though he鈥檚 taken many of them this one feels different because Jennifer was a friend. Funerals are a day families never forget and he has to get it right. Harrison attends to a repair in the church and returns to Alan鈥檚 worry. As a police offer, Harrison has to perform his job without his emotions getting involved and the same鈥檚 true for Alan as a vicar. This helps Alan and he remembers that the day isn鈥檛 about him, it鈥檚 about Jennifer and the people she has left behind.
