 Gloria comes to the village after being called by Rodney previously and he fills her in on what has been going on while she was away in a hope of getting a planning permission in return of his silence about Eric s corruptness, which would especially damage Gloria s career. Although Eric gets a hard time from Gloria about both his shady dealings and Steph, things aren t exactly working out to Rodney s advantage after all. Ollie and Danny have a serious talk about him moving with her or not whilst Len feels down about her leaving since he moved to the village just to be near his relatives in the first place. Pearl suggests that they throw a farewell party for his granddaughter before she goes, which cheers him up.
