A councillor, Mr. Bailey, who is behind the nuclear waste disposal site in Beckindale visits the Village Hall and discusses the scheme with the reluctant residents including Dolly and Jack who speak up against it. As Bailey goes back to his car, people have pinned "No Nukes Here" signs all over his car. Robert is still poorly and the doctor is called out to Emmerdale Farm. Phil and Sandie are having a quiet night in but a vengeful Eric starts his hate campaign against Sandie and Phil by slashing the tyres of Phil's car.
