Local historian Maggie Cole shares too much detail about the locals in her village when interviewed for a radio show - changing life in the village forever.
Maggie wants to apologise to everyone she’s upset and goes to see GP Carol, but she’s swiftly rebuffed and Peter (Maggie’s husband) comforts her, whilst attempting to hide the fact that her radio interview has gone viral.
Peter Cole is jittery about the press interest from Maggie’s interview and the online petition calling for his resignation over the scandal.
Maggie is horrified that her comments about Roxanna have been interpreted as racist and Peter deals with a campaign calling for his resignation.
The previous night's revelations have devastated Maggie and in desperate need of some time alone she heads to the local pub to see if she can get a room for the night.
It's the day of the village celebrations. Roxanna is still terrified by Alex's alarming behaviour and is desperate to get to him before he confronts the money lenders.
