Benny tells Joe MacDonald that he had a letter from Ed Lawton telling him that he is selling Heywood Farm and retiring.  Joe asks Benny about the money that Benny has invested in the farm.  Benny tells him that there isn't a lot of money left and Ed would like him to go to the farm to talk to him.

Benny goes into the garage office and tells Victor Lee that Ed Lawton would like to see him to talk about the farm.  Benny tells Victor that he thought he would take two weeks holiday, but Victor says he hasn't been at the garage long enough and isn't due any holidays.  Victor Lee catches Sharon's glance and tells Benny that he will think about it.  When Benny has left the office Sharon tells Victor that Benny deserves a holiday.  Victor asks Benny to come into the office.  "Alright Benny.  The holidays," he says.  "You mean I can have them?" asks Benny.  "Yes," replies Victor.

"Er, Joe's got something to ask you," Benny tells Victor Lee.  "Benny!" exclaims Joe.  "Well, what is it?" Victor asks Joe.  "eWell, I've been working here a while and you like my work, don't you boss?" asks Joe.  "Love it Mac.  Love it," says Victor.  "Well, I thought I'd ask for a rise," says Joe.  "Oh.  How much?" asks Victor Lee.  "Ten pounds.  Well, .... 7.50," says Joe.  "Done.  You've done yourself out of £2.50," says Victor.

Geoffrey Foster comes to the motel and asks Trina Jameson if Sharon MEtcalfe is available.  Trina phones through to the garage office and Geoffrey Foster talsk to Sharon on the phone.  He tells her that he is in the motel reception and asks her if she would join him for tea. 

Lloyd Munro visits Doctor Farnham at his surgery and Doctor Farnham says he would like to read Lloyd's book on mental instability.  Lloyd tells him that David Hunter has the book at the moment.  "Oh, is that his problem?" asks Doctor Farnham.  "You haven't got a very good opinion of David, have you?" asks Lloyd.  "I happen to think David Hunter is one of the best adjusted men around," says Lloyd Munro.

Later, John Farnham goes to the cottage and Lloyd Munro asks him to stay for dinner, but John says he can't.  Barbara Brady comes into the room at that moment and John Farnham looks at her approvingly.  He tells Lloyd that he will stay for dinner after all.

Harry Turvey goes to see Doctor John Farnham at the surgery about his back.  Doctor Farnham tells him that there is nothing to worry about, the tests show nothing.  Harry Turvey tells him that he has pain in his back so there must be something wrong.  The doctor gives harry a prescription.  "I've had enough of it.  I've had it up to here!" shouts Harry Turvey and storms out of the surgery.
