Angela has a boyfriend called Archie but he is a layabout who exploits her and Mary agrees she will split up with Alan if Angela dumps Archie - which Angela does though Mary and Alan are only pretending. Holly is feeling depressed by her unmarried status and losing faith in witchcraft so the other villagers buy cures from her to cheer her up. Mary throws a party to celebrate the fact that she and Angela have been running the shop together for fifteen years and takes the opportunity to ask Alan to go out with her again but he declines as he is now dating Holly.
