Synopsis

The staff easily notice that all is not well at Winterdown Farm. Boycie's lack of attention-giving is upsetting Marlene so much that she feels unloved, under-valued and extremely lonely. With worries floating through her head that their marriage may be coming to a close she seeks the help of the local marriage guidance counsellor. When Boycie finds out that their private problems are being spread about the village by no other than his own wife! However, he soon finds out not to confront her as her depression transforms into fury and she throws him out. Meanwhile, the pub is being repaired after a huge fireball, a farmers' convention is taking up all the space at the local hotel and Boycie's car has found its own way into a pond – so Boycie remains homeless. Until Bryan offers him a bed that is, although he will have to sleep on the floor as a sick sheep is in the bed. Priorities! Also, Marlene has a girlie chat with Mrs Cakeworthy.

''. The episode, though, bears no resemblance to the ''Citizen Smith'' episode. See: List of ''Citizen Smith'' episodes. The episode seems to have been based on the idea that both Boycie and Marlene are always at each other's throats, so this episode was written to explore what would have if they actually did break up after a row.
