Meanwhile, Kerry faces a challenge to her authority.

Mandy

Kerry and Kurtan run foul of the village by celebrating, rather than mourning, the death of their old teacher Mr Perkins, though Kurtan is more obsessed with tracking down old school-mate Robert Robinson, a quest ending in disappointment.

Kerry and Kurtan attend a talk at the village hall with a businesswoman who runs what might possibly be a pyramid scheme.
