Mike and Jackie face a terrifying ordeal at the hands of a stalker who seems to have a very personal grudge against Jackie. Mike suspects Jackie's colleague Anthony is the culprit and Craddock's narrow-minded attitude towards the case leaves her feeling isolated. As Mike points the finger at an innocent man, Ventress and Blaketon take it upon themselves to investigate and save the couple's marriage. Meanwhile, David persuades Bernie and a reluctant Greengrass to arrange a Colonel's funeral when he becomes attached to the Colonel's widow, but it doesn't run smoothly when they use a horse and a hey cart instead of a hearse.

A retired MP causes a stir when he begins a new life in Aidensfield and cancels an annual village event, only for his lascivious past to come back to haunt him. Meanwhile, Greengrass causes a blast - literally - when he and David provide home-made fireworks for the annual Aidensfield firework display, whilst love is in the air for Gina and Bellamy.
