Matt tries to pick up the pieces and start again after the aftermath of the fire, but Dolly has lost interest in their future. Jack still wants to know how the fire at Crossgill Farm started. Phil knows he left some rags near the stove, but does not tell Jack this, so fobs him off. Matt suggests faulty wiring may have started the fire. Alan still has no voice, so Seth decides to play on this as he also thinks Alan is deaf. Seth goes to the pub, but Alan follows, and when Alan tries some egg in vinegar, he gets his voice back. He is annoyed at Seth for thinking he was deaf as well as temporarily mute and had conned his way to skiving off down the pub. Phil claims the fire at Crossgill was just an accident but Dolly says Annie almost died.
