Returning to Ambridge, Jazzer and Tracy look at all the damage the storm has caused. Tracy becomes emotional at the spot where the tree nearly injured Chelsea. At least Pip and Stella were able to go on their honeymoon. They’re unloading their suitcases when Helen approaches. She asks how their holiday was, before pointing out that a couple of fence panels have blown across the garden damaging some plant pots. Helen says she’ll leave it with Jazzer and Tracy to fix. Jazzer says isn’t it her boundary?

The Archdeacon arrives to talk to Alan. Alan welcomes him to the Vicarage, offering cake. The Archdeacon says he’s here in an official capacity as a formal complaint has been made about Alan. Alan maintains he has done nothing wrong. He didn’t know that Carol had transferred the money. The Archdeacon says that’s not the point of this meeting. Alan says Anna is riddled with guilt. The Archdeacon cuts him off saying they should use neutral language: the complainant and the deceased. Alan laughs – does that make him the accused? The Archdeacon asserts he’s here to explain how this will be dealt with by the diocese. Alan becomes upset and says he’s innocent. The Archdeacon says they have to refer the complaint to Adult Social Services and there will be interim safety plan. Alan won’t be able to handle collection boxes or the plate on Sunday. He won’t be able to visit any parishioner unaccompanied. Alan has to sign to say he agrees to these terms.
