The town is in mourning for Len on this, the day of the funeral.

Harry and Helen, too, begin to face Warwick's death; Helen for the first time acknowledging the positives of her relationship with Warwick. Tom and Megan hold the fort at the station during the wake, and Tom bluffs his way through a detailed agricultural conversation - by the skin of his teeth. At Len's wake, Harry surprises everyone by playing a tape that Len made just before his death, while Helen slips home and makes her own, private peace with Warwick. Finally, Mon is alone, and it finally hits her. The morning finds her still sitting on the porch, wrapped in a blanket, wondering how on earth she's going to face the day.
