Meanwhile Paul seems to have a soft spot for the local policewoman, PC Sarah Madden. Sheldon decides to set Paul up on a blind date, although he doesn't reveal to Paul who his date is with.

Swithenback is still trying to gain Jean's affection and gives her a spa voucher to treat herself. Paul spots the voucher lying on the table, steals it and treats himself to a tan! Syd claims he has been attacked by a goose, although the other residents of Bramble Lodge are sceptical about whether the goose exists.
