It is Sunday. Emily worries that Minnie hasn't got a fire lit and is not going to the Rovers but just plans to sit at home all day. Jerry is not confident about launching the Shangri-La. He rings Joe Robinson who has a trailer and cancels his appointment for the boat to be taken to Burmer Reservoir. Bet amazes Annie when, before they come in, she pulls all the pints that everyone will order at Sunday dinner opening time and correctly guesses who will arrive and what they will want, with the exception of Elsie. Annie gives Bet her drink on the house. Lucille tells the regulars that Joe Robinson supposedly can't help transport the boat.
