It\u2019s the day of the Ambridge fete and Joy is full of praise for Azra\u2019s book stall, despite her misgivings about having the fete on the same day as the grand re-opening of the Stables. She shocks Azra with talk of an open surgery and a free consultation for everyone who buys a book. But Azra turns it to her advantage, guilt-tripping anyone who asks about their health into buying a book.

George isn\u2019t happy about being dragged to the fete by Emma. And he can\u2019t understand why his family and everyone has such a downer on his uncle Clive. Emma doesn\u2019t want Clive anywhere near George or Poppy. Later, as Emma tells Joy she is enjoying the fete her mood takes a downturn when George announces he has had enough and he\u2019s leaving.

Meanwhile the Stables has its own Cantering On celebration and Justin is resplendent in his ringmaster\u2019s garb, which Lilian loves. She is less happy about Justin\u2019s plan to keep Alice hidden behind the scenes. Alice has a key part in the day, says Lilian. Later Justin has great news. Horse owner Rani Pershore is at the event. He wants to keep Alice away from her until Alice reveals they have a personal connection \u2013 Alice sold her horse Banjo to Rani. She quickly persuades Rani that The Stables is the right choice for her.

Joy praises Azra who sold out of books and says she\u2019s a shoo-in for next year\u2019s fete. No way, says Azra, aghast. But Joy is confident: that\u2019s what they all say.
