Violet and Fred talk about whether she should take on a second term as mayor.
The council asks Violet to take on a second term as a mayor, but she's not sure if she should. While there’s no denying she’s more than capable of doing a good job, the past 12 months have been filled with their fair share of stresses. However, Fred, forever the supportive partner, encourages his wife to accept the challenge rather than back away.

Well, it's a bit dirty from being in the shed, but I reckon it'll scrub up just fine.
[Sighs] It's my speech for the Flower Festival.
I don't know how to end it, whether to say I will be continuing or retiring as mayor.
What have you got so far?
Mm, the tenement improvements, the prevention of accidents campaign, and two new playschemes, just bits and pieces, really.
That's not just bits and pieces, Vi.
That's great, big changes for the better.
Mm.
You can't stop now.
But how would we manage another year, another year of me going hell for leather after everything?
You'd manage.
We'd manage because when you get tired, I'll carry you.
Oh, Fred, really?
In a manner of speaking.
I mean, if I put my back out, I'll be no good to you, will I?
