Summary

In the shop, Clarrie and Eddie speculate about the graffiti on the church door. Eddie reckons it might not stop there. Clarrie observes it may not be a coincidence as it happened after Rob issued invitations to his baptism. Their chatter’s interrupted by Lee, who’s come in with Jack and Henry. Lee points out how awful this is for everyone; their gossip isn’t helping. Chastened, they apologise. Henry’s curious and Lee explains. He tells Henry not to worry, the police will take care of it. Later Helen’s hard on Lee for weighing in. She doesn’t want incidents like this to be all about them. That’s exactly what Rob wants. She wishes Lee had stayed out of it. Lee reacts, and Henry entreats him to stop shouting at Helen. Lee’s mortified, and Helen explains to Henry that it’s ok for people to argue. Later Lee thanks her for her support, and offers tea and some television together. Helen accepts the tea, but says she’ll read in the kitchen. Clarrie reports Poppy’s making a scrapbook of guinea pigs. There are now five at No.1 The Green. Clarrie remarks she’s not sure Will would have agreed to a pet if he’d known he’d end up with so many. Eddie checks on the turkeys and Clarrie comments that it feels like Christmas is just around the corner. Eddie wants Halloween done first. He offers to show Clarrie their Halloween Trail. Later Eddie loves Clarrie’s idea of a piece of barmbrack with a charm in it for everyone. Now they just need a witch – but who? Clarrie reckons she’d be perfect, and Eddie agrees.
