Pat and Cabbage go for a weekend break at a country cottage owned by Cabbage's mother Ruby but are surprised to see a nearly nude Dylan who is entertaining Ida there for her birthday. Cabbage cooks Ida a birthday meal, which is rebuffed as Ida is a vegetarian and Ruby has to stop her digging in her vegetable patch. Nicola also arrives, having fled a wedding where Helen and Jim are trying to match-make her. They also turn up, causing Ida to leave and the two families go for a country walk, getting lost and having to be rescued by Ida. Pat does however get a call from Michael, requesting a date.
