Episode 716 (Friday 16th February 1990)

 * SYNOPSIS: Dougal wonders if there is something between Claire and Sneddon after he sees them drving close together

Plot
Emma feels Gladys is spending too much time at home, and they argue as Emma tries to encourage her to get out more. Isabel teases Mrs Mack about buying spinach, saying she only buys it when Reverend Parker is in town! Sheila warns Isabel she'll have to tell Brian about Susan and Jamie, but Isabel is reluctant. Later, Susan advises she phone him to see him face-to-face and tell him that way. Meanwhile, Brian himself bumps into Helen, and they chatter in a pub. Archie agrees to cut down a tree outside the church for Reverend Parker free of charge - as long as he can keep the tree for logs. Claire lies to Sandy that she is going to the markert with Tom tomorrow, when she is actually meeting Sneddon. However, when Sandy later mentions her going to the market to Tom in the shop, he admits it is the first he's heard of it. Dougal also shares his own concerns about it with a cynical Morag. Later, Tom mentions it to Claire. She plays it cool but she is clearly disappointed about the change of plan she will now have to make.
