It's Sunday in Beckindale, but Jack finds he has a score to settle before he can rest and he's not the only man in the village nursing a grievance. Jack is annoyed that Paul has published libellous gossip about him in the papers, hinting that Jack is trying to split up his former lover's marriage, and that Jack was incestuous with Sharon. Jack says that Sharon was not immediate family, she was a distant cousin about 10 times removed. Jack pushes Paul into the pond, saying he is scum and belongs in the pond.
