It is a difficult day for Bert. Meanwhile, Ed is happy in his work.

Emma and Ed feel awkward now that they're back living at Ambridge View. Will needs to get No 1 The Green dried out pronto. They discuss this Wednesday's flood meeting -there will be plenty of vocal people. Ed talks about his work for Charlie, clearing out a culvert which he thinks may have caused problems during the flood. Someone has messed up, but Ed needs to keep his mouth shut.
It's the day of Freda Fry's funeral. Jill offers Bert support. Kenton's there for Bert as well, but angry with David who's desperate to talk.
Bert reads a poem he has written - A Rose Always In Bloom. In a way, it's the hardest thing he has had to write. Jill gives the eulogy and Jolene says a few moving words as well.
Afterwards, at the wake at Brookfield, Bert shares a few fond memories. Thinking of how he has lost much of his home and garden, Jill suggest now's the time to plant something new - a rose, in Freda's memory. Bert's not sure where to plant it. He finds himself wanting to ask Freda's advice, before feeling silly and finally coming to the painful realisation that she has gone and he will always be alone.
