Jam & Jerusalem

Tash and Spike finish restoring their van and Tash finally prepares to move out of the family home. But how far will she get?

Sal is emotional as she realises that both her children have now grown up and that she is going to be left alone in the house.

But as Tash's van starts up, it reverses straight into the side of Sal's house and Sal's dreams of a quiet life lie in ruins; Tash and Spike are clearly going nowhere.

Jock offers to repair the damage to Sal's house while he works on the barn conversion. So things are not so bad after all; Sal enjoys Jock's company and looks forward to seeing him.

Sal joins a gym, but it is her growing friendship with Jock that is actually making her feel younger and look fitter. But when she comes home to find that Tash and her van have disappeared, she rushes around in a panic trying to find her. Tash, however, has just moved the van into the field behind the house and explains that Jock has let her and Spike set up home there.

Meanwhile, Eileen makes the exciting announcement that Jock has secured Charles Dance as a guest speaker for the Guild. As Eileen makes frantic arrangements, Sal realises that if Charles owns the field, then Jock can't grant Tash permission to stay there. She confronts Jock, who admits that he only told people that Charles was moving into the barn in order to get people off his back about renovating it - for himself. Jock refuses to do anything about letting Eileen and the rest of the Guild down gently and he and Sal have a big argument.

The event gets under way, with only Sal and Tip knowing that the whole thing is a lie. They are both at the marquee as Eileen rushes around trying to entertain the crowd. Sal finally steps up to tell Eileen the truth but, just as she does, Charles Dance appears.

While the Guild sit in rapture as Charles gives his speech, Sal learns that, feeling guilty, Jock has personally tracked him down and paid him to give a speech. Sal can't believe what Jock has done and her faith in him is restored.
