Everybody in the village starts to worry when two mysterious men turn up. It is thought that they are from the `Revenue' and it seems that everybody has something to hide. Assumpta has more important things on her mind. The ceiling of the pub has just fallen in due to an exploded water tank and she is worried about paying for it. She feels as if everything is falling in around her and she decides it's time for a change. An old friend has contacted her, asking if she'll come in with her in a wine bar in Dublin. Assumpta is tempted and confides in Niamh. Peter hears about it on the grapevine - it seems as if he is the last to know. He asks Niamh, who is giving very little away - only that Assumpta wants a life and family of her own. He says that there are different kinds of love. He confronts Assumpta. When she tells him that it's her business, he tells her that he cares about her - the nearest he can come to telling her that he loves her. She is upset and promises to let him know what she decides. The mystery of the two men is solved, they are from the Fraud Squad so everyone relaxes. Niamh announces that she is pregnant again and a party is thrown at Fitzgerald's. Peter has a last attempt at talking Assumpta out of leaving. She says that she won't find what she's looking for in Ballykay, but Peter tells her that she can find it anywhere.
