Further details
Sal starts to snoop around the construction site with a camera and a note pad and is determined to find some wrongdoing.
Instead, she finds Jock the builder, who manages to offend her during a heated exchange. He tries to make it up to her by killing the rogue turkey that's recently been terrorising anyone who strays into her garden but, unfortunately, Sal was more fond of the turkey than Jock imagined, making a bad situation worse.
Meanwhile, Caroline organises a dinner party for her husband John's London friends, although her thoughts are really with their soldier son who has recently been drafted to Afghanistan. Caroline accidently invites Rosie and the vicar, and then has to ask Sal along to look after Rosie.
When Caroline's guests (the ones she really wanted to see) get stuck on the train, she is left to entertain just Rosie, Sal and the vicar. On the way home Sal meets Jock, who again attempts to make amends. This time Sal finds it harder to be angry with him.
Eileen is organising the biannual Guild Charity Fashion Show. Sal tries to duck out but is told that attendance is mandatory. Sal's relationship with Jock is evolving and she is beginning to enjoy his company.
The vicar has gone missing, leaving the Guild locked out of the church. Kate eventually finds him up on the moor. He seems to be having a mid-life crisis and Kate, in her own unusual way, tries to comfort him. The pair spark a friendship and soon share a kiss...
The fashion show has made Rosie feel unhappy about her appearance and, after harsh words from her alter ego, she pulls out of the event. Sal is determined to help her regain her confidence, and gives her a make-over which ends up stealing the show - parading on the cat walk with Jock on her arm.
