Fallon is going through her event plans for Lower Loxley with an impressed Elizabeth. They talk about plans for a Winter Fayre and Fallon admits she?s been grateful to have something to focus on. Over in the gallery, Fallon talks about the music programme they could run, when Lily comes in bearing goodies from Grey Gables. Elizabeth suggests that Fallon goes through her pitch with Lily, both of them a little embarrassed by their own actions this week. Fallon confesses to Lily that her failed match making was because Conrad liked her. Lily asks if Fallon was tempted, but Fallon insists it?s far too soon. She questions if she needs to tell Harrison to an awkward Lily.

Keira turns up at the Maliks? house to make up with Khalil. She says Henry is going to the cinema and more importantly wants them talking. Keira says she?s brought homemade brownies but Khalil confesses he?s now vegan. Khalil updates Keira on how Lynda and Robert are doing without Monty, Keira asks how Khalil is doing. She doubts his new vegan diet will last long as he?d have to work hard at it. Khalil caves quickly and tucks into the brownie peace offering. They disagree over Khalil?s poor view of high intensity farming as a profession. Keira reminds him that she?s from a caring farming family and that it?s possible to care about the planet and still enjoy meat. He wants to support the Snells, who have been getting a lot of online criticism. Keira asks if they?re still mates, Khalil confirms they definitely are.

Martyn is giddy at the showroom ready for his new car and sings George?s praises to Conrad. Conrad offers George a lift home ? he says no but shares he?s off to The Bull later. Conrad says he?s trying to avoid that pub after his unsuccessful flirting.

Lynda tells Robert that she?s had to pull out of judging at the Flower and Produce, but that Lily had been very understanding. Neither of them is looking forward to taking Monty his treats and belongings at the police station.

Lynda bumps into David outside the village shop and informs him they?ll be paying the invoice for the attack soon and she?s taking Monty his things. When Martyn arrives, Lynda uses it as an excuse to leave. Martyn notes she looked pale and David tell him about Monty?s goodbye. When Martyn offers advice about being disliked and feeling responsible, David snaps at him saying they?ve nothing in common. Later in The Bull, David updates George that he?s been asked to replace Lynda as judge. When Martyn joins them, the atmosphere is initially cool but he and David call a truce. It?s a blow to David to hear that Martyn will be judging the show too, offending David by adding that it?s to ?add gravitas?.

It?s the Battling Bulls social and Lily is on the stronger drinks tonight over the stress of the Flower and Produce show. Lynda was meant to be a judge but is devastated over Monty and Lily doesn?t want to add to her stress. Conrad arrives and asks Fallon about the beers on tap. He offers to buy her and Lily a drink, but as she?s working Fallon says she?ll only have a lime and soda. Later, Fallon asks Rex what he thinks of Lily and Conrad as a possible couple. Rex asks if Fallon is alright but also doesn?t know if Lily wants a new relationship. Lily is flirting with Conrad on Fallon?s advice until he turns her down. Rex finds Lily hiding as she sneaks off from rejection. Conrad finds Fallon at the bar, and to her surprise admits it was Fallon who caught his eye.

George is out walking a naughty Holly when she runs into Lynda. Lynda can?t help but fuss over Holly saying she?s made her feel a little better. George invites Lynda to join them for the rest of the walk. They walk to Heydon Rise, and Lynda admires how it looks in the sunset. She talks about Monty and becomes emotional at the idea that he could be put down. George comforts her by recounting how he felt about Bartleby dying whilst he was still inside. George tells Lynda that she?s doing the right thing.

It?s George?s first day at Bill?s showroom and he?s being shown the ropes by Conrad, the sales executive. He?s drafted online listings and Conrad is impressed with the photos George takes for the website, saying he?s living up to his reputation as a content creator. Conrad says he wants George to observe a sale. Martyn Gibson is buying a car and doesn?t acknowledge George to start with. When Conrad goes to take a call from Bill, Martyn talks about what he?s looking for in a car and George is able to offer helpful advice. George?s wrist gives him trouble as he gets Martyn his coffee and he accidentally splashes Conrad. Martyn debates over the car as George apologies and says he wasn?t trying to undermine Conrad. Luckily for them both, Martyn chooses a plug-in hybrid.

Rex brings Alice a cup of tea in bed to her surprise. Alice checks her phone and sees a number of missed calls from Tom, who is trying to get hold of Brian after a lot of gravel has been dumped at Bridge Farm by mistake. Rex returns with a pastry for Alice and she suggests they go down to try and sort it. The earliest the company can move the gravel is tomorrow which is no good for milking at Bridge Farm and Tom is the only one around to help. Alice offers Rex?s help which Tom accepts and offers to repay with a drink at the Battling Bulls social tomorrow. Later, Alice and Rex are joking over Brian?s offers to also thank them for their help before jumping in the shower together.

Robert and Lynda receive a bad review from their disgruntled B&B guest after last week?s events. When the invoice from the Brookfield sheep attack arrives, they are forced to relook at their finances. Robert becomes frustrated at the coldness of Brookfield?s email and Lynda has to soothe him. Robert points out they?ve accepted responsibility and lost Monty but the use of ?sincerely? make him question everything they?ve done for the village. After spending the day sitting in Ambridge Hall lounge, they discuss how Ambridge has changed them both when their day gets worse when the bad review is posted to six more sites.

Lily gets flagged down by Fallon who was admiring the grounds but would love a cheeky lift back to her car. Lily agrees reluctantly. Fallon rambles on about her plans for Lower Loxley including the Cruck Barn workshops. Fallon offers to take them all to the tearoom but Lily uses the Flower and Produce show as an excuse. Rex notices and questions Lily who confesses she kissed Harrison.

Khalil bumps into Ruth, who wants to chat with him. He thinks there?s nothing left to say, except to apologise for his rant at Brookfield last week. Ruth in turn apologises for showing him the photos. She feels wretched about it. Khalil assures her the nightmares are easing; he forgives her. She tries to make it up to him by offering him work experience on the farm. Khalil declines, asserting he?ll need to concentrate on his schoolwork this year. Raising animals to make money seems wrong to him. He seeks Ruth?s assurance that they won?t need to speak of the sheep photos incident again. He?s still annoyed with Keira for blabbing about it, and tells her so later. Keira counters she was just worried about him, and she?s sorry. Khalil feels like he?s now under surveillance from his family. He cuts Keira short, heading off to Henry?s for tea.

Lily?s surprised to see Harrison at her Argentine tango class. He?s looking for Taekwondo. Lily explains those sessions finished a while ago ? why doesn?t her join her for tango? Reluctant Harrison eventually agrees, and whilst he picks up the steps well, he admits it?s all a bit intimate and it?s hurting his brain. They laugh as they throw themselves into the intense moves. Later over tapas Lily declares she was excited to have Harrison as a partner; he?s in great shape. Harrison?s flattered but reckons he?ll stick with Taekwondo. He?s enjoying her company though. She?s a breath of fresh air ? funny, clever and beautiful. Lily returns the compliment, and they kiss.

George is back at Meadow Farm watching his grandpa work. Eddie?s surprised George missed the opportunity to criticise at early morning milking. George shows Eddie a picture of a supercar he?s been reading about online and laments that he?ll never own one. Amber arrives to drop off George?s forgotten house keys. Eddie suggests that George could work for Amber?s dad at the car showroom for a few weeks while his wrist heals. Amber reckons George would hate it, but George disagrees and see the advantages of the idea. Amber?s not sure, but with a little more persuasion she?s won round and agrees to give her dad a call.

On a busy morning for breakfasts Lynda and Robert deal patiently with a particularly demanding couple, who complain the breakfast is too hot and the coffee tastes odd. Lynda admits she?s tired, but they have guests to please before she can rest. Robert agrees and they knuckle down. However Robert?s limits are tested when one of the tricky guests raises the subject of Monty, branding him a dangerous dog and taking the situation out of context. Robert protests but to no avail, and the guest ploughs on regardless. Robert worries that Lynda will overhear the upsetting claims, and asks the guest to keep her voice down. However Lynda?s calm when she approaches, despatching Robert back to the kitchen. Diane the guest accuses Lynda of being in denial, and unable to control a fully-grown Dobermann. Lynda closes the conversation down before asking Diane and her husband to leave the premises immediately.

Azra sympathises with Lynda?s plight over Monty ? she must have had a horrible couple of weeks. Lynda hopes Monty will be rehomed rather than the unthinkable alternative. They agree they?re both worried about Khalil, and Azra probes as to what really happened at Brookfield last week. Lynda states she wasn?t there for long and didn?t see anything herself, but she recalls David did mention something about photos. Azra?s grateful Lynda followed Khalil there, and resolves to talk to him.

Later having spoken to Khalil, Azra goes with Akram to see David and Ruth. Ruth admits she showed Khalil the photos. Azra acknowledges Khalil was rude to barge into Brookfield, but Ruth?s actions have only worsened his distress. He?s not coping. Ruth?s mortified and apologises; she really regrets what she did. When they?ve gone Ruth admits to David that she can completely see their point of view. She fears Azra will never forgive her.

Amber and George note their antenatal class is getting smaller; babies are starting to arrive. They speculate on when it will be their turn. George takes Lynda some flowers from Clarrie. Lynda?s touched, admitting she?s not sure what other villagers think of her. George asserts his grandma?s not the judgy type. After the antenatal class George tells Amber he feels inadequate compared to the other dads ? he can?t provide for his family while he?s off sick. Amber?s having none of it, and gets him to focus on the positives. They have a roof over their heads and a loving family.

Eddie?s covering George?s work at Meadow Farm, and grumbles when George comes to check up on him: George is lucky he?s covered the work at all. George concedes he?s grateful. Eddie suggests he makes the most of the break while his wrist?s injured. George protests he?s restless staying in all the time and feels bad that Amber?s having to work right up until the baby?s born. He?s worried he won?t be fit in time to help out when the time comes. Eddie counsels that bad things happen and you just have to get on with it. He manages to persuade grateful Esme to pay him in cash, plus a little extra. Esme frets a little about having to fork out sick pay as well. Eddie asserts that her dad would be proud of the fine job she?s doing with the farm.

Keira helps Susan cleaning shelves at the shop, noting her Great Grandad Bert?s absence. Susan explains he?s playing dominoes at the pub. She admits to hoping she?d have her house back by now, but Brad?s still redecorating at No.6 The Green. Susan raises the topic of Monty, and Keira admits she doesn?t know what to do to help Khalil, who?s not sleeping. Azra comes in and Keira panics as Susan quizzes her on Khalil?s state of mind. With the two of them now leaning on Keira for answers she divulges Khalil saw pictures of the dead sheep on someone?s phone. She?s mortified to have betrayed this confidence.

Jolene goes with Fallon to see the Cruck Barn. However the door key sticks and Fallon needs to call Lily for help. Lily?s excited for Fallon?s new job at Lower Loxley. Jolene?s impressed with the Cruck Barn and wonders whether Fallon would consider her for teaching at the singing workshops. Fallon explains awkwardly that her teachers will need to be experienced; the courses are expensive and she needs them to do well. There?s a moment as Jolene realises she?s lost Fallon to this new role, before she admits that whilst missing her at the pub, she?ll work it out. Fallon feels Lower Loxley is where she needs to be right now. Lily impresses Harrison by pinpointing some CCTV evidence on a shady character seen near Grey Gables.

Not wanting to revisit the unthinkable, they turn their attention to their busy guest list. They resolve to get through their ordeal by focusing on hard work, together.

Akram?s excited for what he might enter in the Flower & Produce Show, and invites Khalil to come to the allotment to help him choose. Khalil declines; he and Keira will be gaming instead. Azra and Akram agree Khalil isn?t himself, probably still affected by the situation with Lynda?s dog, Monty. They speculate that he might be feeling guilty about his rant at Brookfield last week. Azra resolves to go over there and apologise on Khalil?s behalf. Later she and Ruth chat about Pip and Stella?s wedding before Azra gently broaches the subject of the attack offers her apology for Khalil?s actions.

Azra sympathises, and they agree it?s a horrible situation for everyone.

Meanwhile Khalil complains to Keira that his family is breathing down his neck, whilst admitting he?s having flashbacks to the images of the sheep. He loved Monty like a friend and can?t get his head round what he did. Keira suggests Azra might be able to help, but Khalil?s adamant his family mustn?t know he?s seen the pictures. They already worry too much about him. Later Azra and Akram agree it?s a relief how understanding Ruth and David were about Khalil. There?s an awkward moment for Keira when they quiz her about what might be bothering Khalil, but she successfully diverts them. They hope they?re worrying about nothing.

Amber is at Grange Farm trying to talk to Keira, who has been ignoring her messages. When the baby visibly moves, Keira is amazed by it and compares to an alien. Amber wants to only focus on the baby so she wants to sort out what happened with Brad and the fact Keira knows. Amber insists nothing really happened, and it was a bad time for her with George?s behaviour. Keira thought Amber was one of the cleverest people she knew but it turns out she?s just like everyone else. She won?t tell anyone, as she knows George would overreact, but makes Amber promise to not disappoint her again.

He says there is life after divorce and that even he and Shula are friends again. Lynda and Robert recount yesterday?s events to Lilian who?s shocked. Lynda makes some barbed comments to Robert, saying he did nothing to stop them taking Monty. Robert goes to answer the phone and Lilian asks Lynda to be fair to Robert. They are both missing Monty. Lynda thinks Robert?s didn?t defend Monty, who must be innocent. Lynda asks Alistair for a character reference as proof the police have made a mistake with Monty. Alistair explains he was there after the sheep attack and had to euthanise some of the injured. Lynda pushes him to vouch for Monty, but Alistair argues that there?s not a single dog he could vouch for as all dogs are capable of attacking livestock. Lynda returns to Ambridge Hall and Robert asks her to sit down. He?s got through to the B&B guests from that day, and the children saw Monty coming in through the back gate with blood on him. They cleaned him to avoid getting him in trouble. Robert believes it might have been Monty behind the attack, and calls Harrison to tell him the news.

It?s the day of the village fete. Chelsea?s upset over the cancelled launch of the horsebox salon. Whilst Amber donated styling tools, she has nothing to cut hair. Lilian arrives and promises to play fairy godmother. Keira says they need to wait for Khalil so they can hide in the horsebox to avoid the entrance fee. Lilian later arrives with a loan from Fabrice of everything Chelsea needs; Chelsea?s put too much effort into the horsebox for it to fall at the first hurdle. The big launch is back on! Keira asks Lilian how she persuaded Fabrice, and Lilian admits she?s agreed to be the face of his next promotional campaign. Lynda accosts Alan over his entrance fee, trying to persuade him to drop it. Alan insists it?s not ?his? entrance fee and is raising funds for the Church bell. They agree to drop the price. A soaked Alan is suffering from the queue at ?Dunk the Vicar?, as Lynda brings him a strong coffee and an update.

Finding themselves with a couples? counselling appointment that Harrison and Fallon rejected, Kenton and Jolene playfully decide to attend. To their surprise, the session reveals a lot about their relationship. They miss being more free ? the travel and the music. They are stuck in a rut and don?t want that. It?s time to shake things up a bit! George goes back to the hospital, where a hairline wrist fracture is discovered. He?ll be in a cast for six weeks and off work a further six. This is terrible timing for them both as well as Esme. Returning his phone charger, Keira visits Brad. She is upfront with her big question ? is he over Amber? He can?t deny it and confesses he?s had a crush, in the past. But realising how good Amber and George are together, and how grown up their situation is, he knows he can?t compete. As he stumbles on his meaning, Keira catches on to something more ? did he sleep with Amber? Defending himself, he admits that they?d kissed on New Year?s Eve and Keira furiously runs off. Finding her later in her secret hiding place, George tries to get Keira to reveal what?s happened, but she decides to cover the truth. Meanwhile in The Bull, Amber convinces Brad to tell her what he knows about Keira. He tells her it was truly an accident ? but that he?s told Keira about the kiss. Amber is stunned. She loves George! How could Brad do that, and what if George finds out?

With 6 weeks to go until her due date, Amber is feeling huge and is surrounded by boxes of baby products to promote on her socials. She asks Keira why Poppy seems off with her. Keira seems unconcerned and says it will blow over but says she?ll ask her sister. After finishing a pre-natal yoga class at Grey Gables, Amber bumps into Brad on his way to work and there?s an awkward tension between them. Amber wants to help replenish Chelsea?s stolen beauty products. Brad asks about the baby and Amber realises, with a jolt, that she hasn?t felt it move all day. With rising panic she?s determined to drive to the hospital and, unable to reach George, Brad goes with her. Meanwhile, alone at Meadow Farm, George slips from the tractor onto his wrist. In pain, with a very swollen wrist, he calls Eddie to take him to hospital, ignoring several calls from Brad? Relieved that the midwife has given the all-clear, Brad tells Amber that he thinks she?s amazing. Meanwhile in A&E, George is frustrated with the waiting time and the lack of phone signal. Deciding to go home and take painkillers instead, his phone comes back to life, and he realises that Amber?s in hospital too. After an emotional reunion in the car park, it becomes clear to Brad that George and Amber truly care about each other. Alone, George and Amber tenderly reassure each other. They are just keen for this baby to get here safely.

When Eddie visits Ed at Home Farm, he deliberately puts Ed in a difficult position by letting Brian know about Ed?s tree surgery job for Martyn Gibson. Ed comes clean ? that he?s been well paid on the understanding that he tells Martyn how things are going at Home Farm. Martyn wants to see if the BL contract is under control. Brian is furious and feels betrayed by Ed. However, Eddie hatches a plan with Brian. Ed should keep supplying Martyn with information ? but only information authorised by Brian. Ed?s sceptical as he?s a terrible liar. Brian retorts that Ed owes it to him, even if it makes him uncomfortable. It?s payback.

Chelsea is making final plans for her hairdressing venture launch ahead of the fete, including an introductory offer. Entering the horsebox, she?s horrified to find it ransacked and her hairdressing bag of equipment missing. Everything she needs to launch the business has been taken, including her hairdryer. Later, when Harrison helps her retrace her steps, she reveals that although she visited a DIY store the day before, she couldn?t fully remember locking up outside the house last night. She blames herself, knowing that she?s probably made an insurance claim invalid. Harrison reassures her, telling her ways to make the horse box and contents more secure in the future. Jazzer encourages her to get help from family ? for example borrowing her mum?s quality dryer. Distraught, Chelsea realises it will take her ages to get the funds for replacement equipment but is determined that it?s her problem to fix.

As Keira helps Eddie prepare cider bottles, they discuss the forthcoming ?fete worse than death.? Eddie is put out by the cost of putting the ferrets into the pet competition, on top of the £5 entry fee. Keira loves being part of the process of cider making and adores traditions. Perhaps they could wassail in January and sing to the apple trees? Eddie entertains her with stories of the kissing boughs he made in his youth and his first kiss. Although it?s too late now to grow something for the Flower and Produce Show, perhaps Keira could make a Cider Cake and fly the Grundy flag? These craft skills are passed down through the generations and soon they?ll be celebrating the next Grundy.

Bert grumpily thanks Neil for making him lunch, saying he?s only bad-tempered because his toenails are too long ? Jazzer would normally cut them - could Neil? Calling on Jazzer, Neil is advised to watch more telly with Bert and bond over war films. Speaking of the foot care, reading aloud and special purchases for Bert, Jazzer is amazed. He?s never done them, Neil?s been had! Returning home, Neil makes Bert uncomfortable by suggesting a vulnerable heart to heart chat. Neil also welcomes Jazzer for a toe-clipping session, with the kitchen scissors. Bert?s been rumbled and apologises. Neil and Jazzer insist they?ll take Bert to The Bull, but the drinks are on him.

Bert tries it and can?t stand it ? insisting that Jazzer would never make him eat it!

As Ed and Eddie plan a surprise roast dinner for Emma?s upcoming birthday, Neil calls in. Eddie unwittingly reveals that Ed has done some tree surgery for Martyn Gibson. Astonished, Neil asks if this is a bribe - is Ed spying on Brian for BL? Ed insists he?s not ? it?s just good money, and he?s not told Martyn anything? well not much. And it?s all been to reassure Martyn so there?s no problem. Martyn can?t make him tell him anymore, and Brian won?t find out.

Kenton suggests a curry night to Harrison to chat, and wonders if he?d consider couples? counselling, as there?s a woman recommended in Borsetshire. Harrison says he?ll ask Fallon. At the pub, Kenton cajoles Fallon into joining Harrison for a drink and they both receive a phone message ? a consent form for a counselling session. They both don?t want to go, and Kenton protests that it?s non-refundable. Fallon and Harrison reflect on the fact that they no longer want to fight for their marriage, but acknowledge that the years they did have, they don?t regret.

Both Jolene and Kenton appear evasive to Fallon, who wants to discuss arrangements for her replacement when she leaves The Bull. Eventually cornering her mum, Fallon pushes that her replacement needs sorting, and that the Cruck Barn job at Lower Loxley is an amazing opportunity. Jolene can?t see why she wants to leave an award-winning pub where she?s been central to its success. Fallon disagrees ? this is a chance for her to re-boot and create something new.

Confiding in Joy, Jolene shares that she finds Fallon?s move hasty and a bit selfish, being from a pub family where they all work together. Joy points out that Jolene?s always taken opportunities in her career and Fallon?s no different ? she needs to let Fallon find her own way.

Jazzer and Ed are discussing the Fallon and Harrison split and propose a night out to Fallon who says she?s too tired. When Kenton cautions drinking ahead of work on a Monday, Fallon rebuffs him by agreeing to go. Returning later, a tipsy Fallon wants a night cap, but Kenton pushes coffee for all three of them, who?ve been to a few pubs. Unimpressed, Kenton is protective and suggests to Ed that a night out with two blokes so soon after her marriage break-up was not a good move. Jazzer reminds Kenton that the three of them have been mates for decades and it?s exactly what she needed. Kenton disagrees ? Fallon is vulnerable and she?s family and even old friends aren?t going to stop him looking out for her.

Chris is already back in his flat and Neil wonders why Susan isn?t angry with her Dad. As Susan continues looking after Bert, Neil apologises and Susan explains that it?s the least she can do. Susan also notes how awful Bert?s own father was, explaining some of Bert?s behaviour and attitudes. Susan knew Bert loved his children because he wasn?t like his dad. Neil suggests that Susan explains this to Chris. Harrison reminds Fallon that Woodbine Cottage is still her home. Now she?s back from Lynda and Robert?s, Harrison is keen to let Fallon settle, and has moved some things to the spare room. Alan discusses fete woes with Jolene, who stops Harrison to hug him and remind him he?s still part of the family and no one is taking sides. Alan walks with Harrison and also lends an ear. Harrison feels he should have tried harder to save his relationship, but Alan urges him to stop blaming himself ? he and Fallon now just need to be kind to each other. Fallon is standoffish with Jolene, who?s still sceptical about the new Lower Loxley job and tries to persuade Fallon to stay at the Bull. But Fallon points out that her break-up hasn?t happened suddenly, and now she?s finally ready to take control. Fallon?s touched when Harrison supports her decision about working at Lower Loxley. Harrison is going to look for somewhere to rent, but Fallon says there?s no need just yet. Having agreed that they?ll make things work, they wish each other good night.

Susan mildly berates Bert for opening an early beer in the garden. Alice pops over and is friendly with Bert, who mutters to Neil about hiding his beer. Neil teases Chris over Lottie, and Chris bats away his comment about marriage. Chris is defensive when Bert jokes about all Martha?s parent figures.

With Alan and the fete starting to get a bad name, Lynda?s shocked that Susan has introduced some ticket concessions. But some people will be prevented from attending ? and some who will just boycott.

Lynda is convinced that Monty is innocent, as she and Robert await the DNA results from the sheep attack. She?s more concerned about the fete ? they need to find a must-see attraction. They?re distracted by an argument in the road, between Ed on his combine and an angry speeding driver. As affectionate Monty cheers up Ed, Robert makes a comment that gives Lynda an idea.

Chris admits to Alice that he suggested he and Lottie move in together, and is worried by Lottie?s reaction. Alice says to speak to Lottie, and reassure her he?s happy and not trying to pressure her.

Chris heads home and is shocked to see Bert giving Martha a sip of his beer. Bert?s nasty comments about Alice, and mollycoddling, make Chris explode. Later, he informs Susan and Neil that he?ll contact Hazel to see about moving back into his flat. Susan tries to defend Bert?s actions, but when Chris doubles down on his criticism Susan loses her cool and says maybe he should move out.

Jolene presses Fallon to try and talk to Harrison and stop hiding at Lynda and Robert?s. She thinks Fallon and Harrison have rushed into their decision. Later, Fallon shocks Jolene by giving her notice to quit the Bull for a new job at Lower Loxley. Jolene worries it?s too much upheaval given her break up, but Fallon has decided.

Brad admires Bert?s view from his room at Ambridge View, but Bert?s still unhappy about Susan?s rules on smoking and riding his mobility scooter into the village. He also takes the opportunity to share his other gripes with Brad ? Neil is quiet and under the thumb, and Chris is too soft on Martha, who?ll grow up to be as spoilt as Alice!

Bert winds Chris up as Chris explains that Martha is staying over at Lottie?s, with her daughter Maddie, for the first time tonight. Bert says to watch his back with single mum Lottie. Chris turns the tables on Bert, who defends Ivy, Chris?s grandmother, as a saint. Brad makes to leave, and Bert tells him not to open his birthday card until tomorrow ? it may have a little something inside. Chris complains to Brad about Bert and their shared living arrangement. But he?ll be back in his own place in a week.

At Lottie?s, the two girls play together well. Chris seems resolved about Alice being with Rex, and Chris feels it?s the start of a new era, for him and Lottie too. Perhaps they should move in together sometime? Lottie is a bit taken aback, and Chris backtracks.

Alice remarks on how little stuff Rex needs to move in with her. He brandishes an old poultry ledger of his grandfather George Fairbrother, with some entries possibly from his aunt Grace. Alice advises Rex on decorating his boat, ready to rent out to holidaymakers. She?s grateful that he?s giving up his beloved boat to be with her. But a sudden request from Fallon to come over to Alice?s scuppers tonight?s romantic evening.

Supportive Alice is firmly on Fallon?s side when they talk about a pivotal moment - Fallon?s miscarriage, and Harrison?s erratic reaction. Harrison just wasn?t the support that her friends were, including Alice. Having got past her own demons, Alice encourages Fallon, who?s excited about her new job at Lower Loxley, but nervous about breaking it to Jolene and Kenton.

Chris visits Harrison and can?t believe it?s over with Fallon. Harrison confesses that he could have returned home to Fallon six months sooner, and she didn?t even get angry when he told her. Perhaps they shouldn?t have married, given their different views about having children? Chris comforts Harrison, who feels he ran away when they hit problems, in contrast to Chris who was there for Alice.

Chris visits Alice to return a comfort toy for Martha, and it appears Rex has already got Martha off to sleep. Chris and Alice reflect on Harrison and Fallon. They?ve made things work, though, and will be there for the ex-couple. Chris heads off, with Rex surprising Chris with a few old bits and pieces of Chris?s found in a wardrobe, from his time with Alice.

Susan insists Bert smokes outside while at Ambridge View, and for him to see it as a chance to cut down. Chris arrives to look after Bert while Susan heads to work at the shop, warning Bert not to ride his scooter into the village.

As Martha forages in the garden, Chris asks Bert not to smoke in front of her. Bert teases Chris about Brad saving his bacon at cricket yesterday. He also quizzes Chris about Lottie and notes he was never a fan of Alice. Offended, Chris prepares to leave with Martha, but Bert asks for a lift into the village.

At the shop, Chris complains about Bert to Susan and buys fete tickets for himself and Lottie, noting under-12s go free. Bert grumbles about not getting a concession until Susan relents and offers him one.

Lynda is impressed by Robert?s progress painting the shepherd?s hut, and they discuss finishing it with decorative lantern hooks made by Chris. They reflect on their decades in Ambridge and talk about fete preparations, including Alan dealing with complaints about having to pay for entry.

Fallon is grateful to be staying with Lynda and Robert and checks that it?s still alright. They reassure her and offer her privacy, though Lynda also invites her to help with fete planning. Fallon contributes an idea to support Alan?s bell-naming initiative but admits she doesn?t have the headspace to join the fete committee. Lynda understands.

When Chris asks after Harrison, Fallon realises he doesn?t know they?ve split up. He is shocked by the news, and Fallon asks him to reach out to Harrison because she?s worried about him.

Chris is stressing at being several players down, including Harrison, against the Not Outs today. He persuades Brad to come back to play for the Battling Bulls. Chris is also anxious about his living arrangements, now that he, Martha and his Grandad Bert will be staying with Susan and Neil.

Fallon is late for work at the Bull, and has a shock for Kenton and Jolene ? she and Harrison have split up. Kenton and Jolene try to understand what happened, but Fallon admits that they just realised they can?t get back what they had.

Kenton goes to see Harrison, presuming Harrison was up to something when he was away, or knowing that he didn?t love Fallon, and berates Harrison for stringing her along. But Harrison denies that and shows how down and sorry he feels. He feels a real disappointment to Kenton. Kenton implores Harrison to try and make things work, but it?s too late ? Harrison doesn?t want to lose Kenton and Jolene as family, but at least Harrison won?t be going far, for the time being, with his new job role.

At the busy Bull, catering for the post-match cricketers, Kenton reports back to Jolene ? Harrison seems broken. Jolene asks Fallon to come and stay with them, but she doesn?t need taking care of and focuses on keeping busy in the pub. Jolene reflects to Kenton that Harrison and Fallon will change their minds in time, when it sinks in just how much they?re losing.

Susan and Tracy rouse stubborn Bert, who joins them in the garden for a drink. Bert insists he isn?t sulking and points out that Tracy said some hurtful things at the pub. Whilst they agree not to discuss Clive, Susan has an idea for a proper shake-up ? Bert will come and live with Susan, for a few weeks at least, to give Tracy some respite. Susan feels it?s time she did her bit.

In Leeds for Harrison?s big night, he?s delighted that Fallon is with him, complimenting her on her dress. Harrison points out various colleagues and Fallon makes a comment about one in particular who clearly had a thing for him. He assures Fallon nothing happened, acknowledging that as a team they were close and had to look out for one another. Harrison steps up to make a speech as his team receives an award. Emotional Harrison gives a shout out to Fallon, who calls out ?I love you!? Later, Harrison admits something to Fallon ? he had the option of returning to her six months earlier but chose to stay on with the job, without discussing it. Fallon understands. This leads Fallon to be honest with Harrison and open up about how things have not been right between them, since her miscarriage and his reaction, and then her accusing him of bottling George. Harrison agrees that they are on different tracks. They agree it?s time to break up. But what do they do tonight? Too late to head home ? they can have one last night together in the hotel.

It?s Tracy?s 51st birthday dinner at the Bull, and Bert makes the most of her staff discount, with Susan insisting on paying. They can?t help but mention absent Clive, who Bert defends. Apparently Clive is busy with a new venture and needs some investment. Tracy is quick to point out how Clive stole from Bert?s pension. Embarrassed Bert makes to get up, and Susan sighs at Tracy?s outburst.

At the Bull, Elizabeth chases Fallon up about her new job offer at Lower Loxley. Fallon shares with Lynda her misgivings about people having to pay to attend the fete. Tracy snaps at Lynda about it, but mainly due to the situation with Bert. Fallon buys Lynda a drink and offers sympathy, with Lynda reciprocating as she asks about Fallon and Harrison. After a pep talk about deciding what you want, Fallon confirms to Elizabeth that she wants the job.

From her garden, Carol sees Bert passing and wonders why he won?t stop to make a typically snarky comment about her gardening. As they chat, Carol comments on Clive and Bert wonders why everyone has it in for him. Carol doesn?t soft-soap Clive?s criminal past, but encourages Bert to stay in touch with him. She talks about her late son Richard, and Bert supports Carol?s idea of a memorial service to him.

Later, with the party cut short, Tracy regrets her outburst. Bert clearly has a blind spot when it comes to Clive. Tracy knows that whatever she does for her dad, he?ll always choose Clive over her, and it hurts.

Carol seeks Alan?s forgiveness over her sensitivity about Richard the other day. Alan tells her there?s nothing to forgive ? it was he who overstepped the mark. Carol explains that Alan had been right about the issues between her and Richard before he died. Richard didn?t approve of some of her decisions and didn?t attend his stepfather?s funeral. Carol?s never really spoken about it to anyone. She thinks she?d like to do something to commemorate Richard?s passing after all. Alan suggests she has a think about what she?d like. Bert?s and Susan make a good team at the Shop. Bert shocks Susan with news that the village fete this year is ticketed ? at least the money is for charity. Tracy will be there to support Chelsea, but Bert reckons he should boycott. As they reminisce, Bert feels that it?s only down to his Ivy that the kids turned out so well. Susan?s worried to hear that Clive left Bert on his own for extended periods when Bert was staying with him. She twigs that Clive had access to Bert?s bank card. Susan admits to Tracy that she was right ? Clive was stealing from their Dad and disappearing for days. Appalled Tracy learns that Bert is in denial. Susan feels guilty for doing nothing, despite her concerns. Angry Tracy feels guilty for putting her need for rest over Bert?s welfare. But Susan says the important thing is that Bert?s back now. They can?t say anything to Bert ? or Clive ? just focus on looking after Bert, and cutting Clive off.

Fallon tells her mum about the posh awards do. Jolene thinks she?s lucky ? she should make a night of it. Later Jolene insists to Harrison that she?ll treat them to a nice hotel. Harrison?s touched but does his best to decline her offer.

Alice tells Rex she hated the awkwardness between them the other night about where to sleep. Rex agrees. They both struggle with the issue of logistics when they spend nights together. Alice revisits the subject of Rex moving in. Rex is still up for it. Alice worries about him leaving his beautiful boat behind, but Rex is pragmatic. The boat?s tiny ? he?ll miss it but he?s ready to move on.

Alice offers to lend Fallon something to wear for Harrison?s awards evening. She confides she?s making room in her wardrobe ready for Rex to move in. Fallon?s delighted. Later Fallon accidentally reveals the news to shocked Chris, and immediately rings Alice to apologise for her faux pas. Alice assures her Chris will be fine once he gets used to the idea. Fallon admits to getting cold feet about going to Yorkshire with Harrison. Alice urges her to go and have fun ? it might be just what they need.

Chris chats to Harrison about the farrier calendar he?s featuring in, hoping his fake tan doesn?t still show. He and Alice are proud of Martha?s school community award. Harrison thinks it?s nice they can share those moments. Chris asserts he?s happy for Alice and Rex. Harrison admits he and Fallon are finding things hard. He?s not sure how he feels.

The fete committee is forging ahead with arrangements. All the usual attractions are organised, Carol?s been enthusiastically searching for clues for her scavenger hunt, and Chelsea?s horsebox is ready to launch. Lynda?s not entirely happy though; holding the fete on the Jubilee Field isn?t in keeping with tradition. Carol points out that neither is charging people for entry. Alan defends this decision. He doesn?t like charging either, but the fee?s modest and this year the money raised will help towards the church repairs. Later he confesses some concern over the decision to Carol, who tells him he needs to back himself. He supposes she?s right, and thanks her for her support. Carol confides Alan reminds Carol of her son Richard at times. Alan wonders if Carol?s considered a blessing for Richard, to give him a proper send off. Carol?s offended and closes off, telling Alan to leave.

Susan has her hands full giving Bert his induction at the shop. He cajoles her into letting him handle a transaction, and successfully uses some sales tricks to persuade Lynda into an impulse purchase. He?s confident he can double Susan?s takings in time. He draws Susan into village gossip, admitting he missed that at Clive?s. Susan probes further but Bert clams up. He?s sick of being harangued. Later Susan admits to Chris that Bert?s been good company at the shop. Chris reckons Bert doesn?t like him ? Brad?s his favourite, then Chelsea. Susan protests their granddad loves them all equally, he just struggles to express how he feels.

Rex is reluctant to tell Kate that moving Spiritual Home to the rewilding site is a no. Alice is equally unwilling ? she doesn?t want to get involved. They talk about holiday ideas. Alice explains Fallon and Harrison can?t join them as Fallon reckons Harrison won?t get the time off. They agree to chat further, and Alice suggests they stay at hers tonight rather than on the boat.

After the cricket Chris asks Harrison if something?s bothering him ? he seemed to be off his game. Harrison assures him he?s fine, inviting Chris and Rex to watch the football at Woodbine later. Alice is welcome too, but she passes. She?s fine with Rex going, but she?s shattered and will stay home. Rex and Chris discuss Harrison. They resolve to hang in until he?s ready to talk.

Fallon admires the revamped Cruck Barn at Lower Loxley. Elizabeth wonders whether she?s still up for running it. Fallon?s surprised by this. She points out that whilst they?d talked about it a few months ago, it?s happening sooner than she imagined and she needs to get her head round it. She?s thrilled at the prospect though ? it could be brilliant. She asks Elizabeth for a few days to think about it. When she mentions the job to Harrison, he?s wrongfooted and initially lukewarm about the idea. Later he apologises. Of course Fallon should go for it. Likewise Fallon encourages Harrison to attend an upcoming awards ceremony for his team in Yorkshire. He wants her to go too, though understands if she doesn?t fancy it. But Fallon?s keen ? count her in.

Outside The Bull, Jolene invites Fallon to drop in if she?s free for a coffee. Fallon and Harrison step on each other?s toes as they make breakfast. Harrison becomes distracted when a lead on Home Farm?s sheep attack comes in and rushes off.

Over breakfast with Kirsty, Kate brings up her proposal for moving Spiritual Home to Rewilding Ambridge. A message from Tom asking to talk interrupts Kate?s pitch. Kirsty is still uncertain of the baby moving, but Kate promises soon they?ll be kicking her in the ribs. At Rewilding, Kirsty tries to persuade Rex to be the one to reject Kate?s plan. Tom turns up and apologies. He is really pleased for Kirsty and thinks she?ll be a wonderful mother. Kirsty says she?s living on hope with this baby. Kate turns up and Rex is left to tell her the bad news for Kirsty.

Lynda is on Village Fete duty, and Jolene agrees to run the beer tent again. Fallon swings by for that coffee, and Lynda asks when Fallon is free for fete matters. Fallon suggests this afternoon which delights Lynda. Jolene states she must be bored without Harrison to be spending a Friday afternoon on the village fete. Lynda asks how Harrison is settling back in, stating from experience that it?s not always a smooth process. Harrison arrives to speak to Lynda on official business. The DNA from the sheep attack has come back and reveals it was a Doberman. Lynda?s Monty is the only Doberman in the village. Lynda insists there?s no way it could be Monty.

Anne Marie finds Susan in the shop, and as Susan nervously rambles, Anne Marie stops her to apologise ? she treated Susan awfully at the Theatre. Susan understands and admits she simply hadn?t thought her plan through regarding the cot. Anne Marie admits that Amber feels distant and she was jealous when she saw the two of them laughing together. Susan says it?s difficult, but Amber will come round. Susan offers to make them both a nice cup of tea. Anne Marie apologises for her emotional outburst. As a child, Amber was close with Anne Marie, and she drew Amber storybooks every year. She states that Amber started drifting away long before meeting George. Susan tells Anne Marie she can?t stop trying.

Tom goes through his pitch for Bridge Farm with Helen, who says she can see why their Mum and Dad chose it. Helen asks how Harrison?s welcome back drinks went - Tom confesses he didn?t go because Natasha was out. Helen points out that someone could have watched the twins before realising Tom is avoiding Kirsty. Tom has spoken to Kirsty, and it went really badly. He admits that hearing about the pregnancy brought up feelings about Wren. He couldn?t explain this well to Kirsty, and Helen suggests he finds someone else to talk about his feelings with. Tom says he will always carry Wren with him - Helen points out it?s the same for Kirsty. Tom confesses he was so happy when he first heard Kirsty was pregnant, and wishes he had just told her that.

After Harrison?s first day in his new job, he and Fallon scout for tables at The Bull. Lynda comes over to welcome him home and asks how he?s settling in. Harrison enthusiastically explains about the role and the team and how he?s excited to be working with the rural community. Alice and Rex bump into a curt Kirsty. Rex explains he?s behind Kirsty?s attitude as he?s accidentally become overbearing at work. Rex finds Kirsty at the bar and apologies for being overbearing and patronising. Kirsty confesses to Rex that she wants to tell people tonight after Tom found out she was pregnant by mistake. The gang chats as Harrison regales with stories from his job in Yorkshire. When Harrison asks what else has happened, Kirsty announces she?s pregnant. Everyone is delighted for her. Harrison makes a comment about everyone having babies and jokes that Alice and Rex will be next. They both awkwardly respond. On the walk home, Alice and Rex chat about Harrison?s baby comment. Alice says it?s important to talk about whether you want kids. Rex confesses that he always imagined he?d be a dad eventually. Alice admits that at some point she would like to have another child. The pair agree they should probably move in together before anything else. Catching her outside the Bull, Lynda says it?s a shame Kirsty couldn?t play cricket this season. Kirsty confides in Lynda that she?s pregnant. Lynda?s delighted and hugs Kirsty. Harrison finds Fallon trying to tidy the garden late at night. They descend into a fight over his baby comment.

As Susan and Amber head out for a trip to the theatre, Amber asks about Bert?s new job. Susan insists it?s just volunteering but wonders how much work she?ll get done with him in the shop. Amber talks about her teenage obsession with musicals whilst Susan reminisces about when she used to bring Emma and Chris to the Panto. Whilst waiting in the queue for a programme and some sweets, Susan tries to explain to Amber about not yet returning the Gordons? baby cot to them. But suddenly Amber spots her mother, Anne Marie, who comes over to chat. At the interval Anne Marie finds Susan. Anne Marie is enjoying the show but really wants an explanation about the cot. When Susan explains it?s all boxed it up in the summerhouse, Anne Marie accuses her of stealing it. Susan denies this whilst Anne Marie says she?ll sort out collecting the cot.

Outside the shop, Kirsty bumps into Tom who?s acting strangely. When Kirsty admits that Helen had already called to apologise for letting Tom know about her pregnancy, Tom leaves quickly. Later at Rewilding, Tom comes to speak to Kirsty, who?s sorting through brambles, to apologise for being weird earlier. He wonders why Kirsty hadn?t told him about the baby, considering he told her when Natasha was expecting Seren and Nova. Kirsty insists there?s no comparison between the two situations and questions how dare Tom make this baby about him when it?s nothing to do with him. Kirsty insists this conversation is over.

At Rewilding, Amber arrives to do some filming about the importance of being in nature. Kirsty offers to show her the perfect place to film. After Amber has finished, the pair sit as Amber says she finds pregnancy fascinating, but she didn?t realise what it would actually be like. Kirsty laughs in agreement and reveals that she?s also pregnant. Amber is overjoyed at having a pregnant friend, remarking they can be school mums together. The pair spot a wild strawberry, a Norse symbol of fertility, when Kirsty feels her baby kick for the first time. Later Kirsty is nailing dormice boxes whilst Rex hovers asking if she needs help. He has been generally overhelpful and Kirsty points out she?s still capable and he?s being overbearing. He agrees and goes to the office to leave her be.

Fallon swings by The Bull to do a handover whilst Jolene says there?s no need. Jolene gives Fallon a nice bottle of wine from the pub to go the dinner she?s making for Harrison. However, Harrison sneaks home early to surprise Fallon and she drops and smashes the bottle. But the pair laugh over their messy reunion whilst cleaning up the glass. Harrison pops to the shop to replace the bottle, and bumps into Jolene who is delighted to see him. When Amber passes, Harrison learns that George is going to be a father and wonders why Fallon never said. Cuddled up on the sofa, Harrison reveals to Fallon he is starting his new job on Wednesday, not next week as planned.

Pat and Tony are admiring their garden at Bridge Farm. Whilst joking over Tony?s award, Pat says Tony has to break the news on their decision to Tom and Helen. Helen arrives early asking if she can check the attic for Jack?s old baby clothes. Pat connects the dots and asks if Kirsty is pregnant. Flustered Helen admits it. Later, to Tom?s surprise, Tony tells Helen and Tom that they?ve decided to go with the climate-controlled greenhouse. Whilst Tom goes to grab his laptop from the car to show Helen his pitch, Pat tells Helen that she?ll have the baby clothes washed ready for Kirsty. Tom reappears quicker than expected and overhears that Kirsty is pregnant and decides to go finish the watering straight away. Helen finds Tom and ask?s if he?s doing alright. Tom insists he?s fine and that this is great for Kirsty.

The Aldridges receive the same text from Brian telling them they will be paid £7000 each for the seed drill. Kate, Alice and Adam debate whether this is a peace offering or a victory, but all think Brian is finally doing the right thing. Alice finds it a bit cold. Kate decides to text back a thank you and floats the idea of a family meal. At Honeysuckle cottage whilst the roast beef is sitting, Adam proposes he and Ian start on the wine to celebrate. Ian tries to hold his tongue, but thinks Brian owes Adam more for all the work he has put in. But Adam thinks they should now move on.

Bert and Lynda arrive for the shop volunteer taster session ? Lynda to see if anything?s changed since her last stint. She is critical of the shop?s layout and Bert adds niggles ? the strength of the door and the volume of the bell. Lynda decides it?s not changed enough to entice her back. Susan is surprised that her father wants to volunteer, and that the change of scene he?d longed for was company at the shop, not a change of house. She doesn?t think he?s quite suited to being a volunteer. But why not become Susan?s personal assistant and keep her company sitting at the counter?

Lynda is pleasantly surprised when Fallon agrees to join the fete committee. Fallon is looking forward to a homecoming staycation with Harrison. They?ll also be celebrating his new dream job, finally becoming a Rural Crime Officer.

Ian turns up unexpectedly at Home Farm to address with Brian what Adam is owed from the partnership. Brian is pleased to hear that Adam?s not pursuing a legal case, but doesn?t see anything else to discuss. Ian claims that Brian has always kept Adam at arm?s length. Brian disputes this ? he raised him as a farmer and gave him every opportunity, but was stabbed in the back. Ian blurts out that he knows about Ruairi and George ? and that proves what Brian has done for a son he really cares about. Ian threatens Brian with telling George the truth, unless he gives Adam what he is due.

Tony?s impressed by David in his traditional bowler hat as an official of The Borchester Show. George reports a problem with a water leak at one of the handwashing stations near the livestock. As Tony finds a spanner and George tightens the pipe, David is drenched. Disaster is also averted when a calf breaks free - George catching it and Tony grabbing its mother. David asks Tracy to alert the committee that he?ll be delayed while he finds dry clothes. Thinking she?s addressing a committee member, Tracy explains to HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh that David has been delayed. Embarrassed by her mistake, Tracy goes on to explain that she?s representing Bridge Farm, and is impressed to hear that Her Royal Highness has tasted Borsetshire Blue. As President of LEAF - Linking Environment and Farming, the Duchess is keen to connect people with where their food comes from, so Tracy issues an invitation to the dairy. The Duchess gives a speech praising a very special organic farmer. The winner of the lifetime achievement award is ? Tony Archer! Reflecting, Tony doesn?t feel he deserves it on his own, he?s only achieved it with the help of Pat and the children. He realises that his role at the show has been a ruse but David insists he?s been essential. They all have something to celebrate ? Keira?s Texel lamb coming first in its class, Chris and his partner coming second in the farrier competition, and David in particular, having pulled together an exceptional show.

On the Green, Susan notices the new cot in Amber?s car. Amber explains that she?s returning it to her parents ? she and George want to use the Grundy cot and don?t need the Gordons? money. As Susan advises sensitivity with returning it, Amber becomes faint. Amber explains that she?s exhausted with the amount of social media work for the Borchester Show. She?s not slept well and hasn?t started her maternity leave. Susan asks if George can help more, and insists that she helps Amber by returning the cot for her. At the showground, Amber is furious to discover that George has been helping Bill to move cars instead of working on the socials. She makes a point of telling her father that they won?t be needing the cot, and that Susan will be returning it to them in the coming days. She?s also angry with George - not only is he banned from driving, she?s having to do everything herself!

In the horse box, Chris pulls on his hoodie while the fake tan he?s applied develops. When Lottie arrives and wants to take advantage of the cute living quarters, Chris is resistant to undress and ushers her out to the showground. Later, Chris ignores Lottie?s request for a kiss goodbye and runs back to the shower at the horse box ? he?s forgotten to rinse off the mousse! Embarrassed, he reveals his orange arms to Lottie. He?d only wanted to look less pasty by the other farriers. The only option is to keep scrubbing and Lottie flirts and offers to help.

Chatting to Ian at Honeysuckle Cottage, Alice can?t believe they want to take Brian to court. All Alice wants is for Martha to have a peaceful relationship with her grandfather ? that?s more important than money. When Adam arrives home, Alice is on the attack but he stops her ? he?s been to see his solicitor and has called it all off. When Alice leaves, a stunned Ian questions the change of heart ? with his share of the profits Adam could have something worthwhile to show for his years in farming. Adam responds that a court case will create even more bad blood. He has his achievements in Kenya, he has Xander and Ian, and that?s what counts. It may not be fair, but Brian will not change and they need to accept it.

Grumbling about the heat in his window, Bert makes his way to the shop, getting in Susan?s way and finally settling with some humbugs behind the counter. As Susan creates a display, she reveals her idea for a taster session at the shop to encourage more volunteers. She probes further about Clive?s care and Bert disputes that he came back in a state. It?s been a relief not to be preened and prodded all the time. He likes being at the shop after a miserable homecoming ? perhaps he should volunteer! At Tracy?s, Susan shares her idea ? Bert should move to Ambridge View for a change of scene and to take the pressure off Tracy. Tracy wishes her sister luck as she will need to approach Neil with the concept.

David updates Brian on the dog attack. Frustratingly, until the dog is identified, he can?t claim compensation for the loss of his sheep from its owner.

David praises Tony for the progress he?s made with Bridge Farm?s garden. Joining Tony to dig, they discuss the investment into another milking parlour or polytunnels, until Tony?s spade hits metal ? John?s childhood model Fordson Major. David encourages him in a new project to clean it up.

Over lunch with Alice, Brian asks after Martha and apologises that he can?t help out with her more. He offers help with the extra costs of care in the holidays, but Alice insists she?s fine. Brian?s glad she?s found someone like Rex who?ll stand up for her and confides that he really misses Miranda. He?s afraid he?ll end up like Bert Horrobin, miserable and alone in The Bull.

Ian is fretting that now he?s so involved at Grey Gables, Adam is not up to speed with school admin and Xander?s needs. Bringing a peace lily to the hotel, Adam concedes that Ian did so much under the radar for Xander. Later, Adam reveals his shock at the invoice from his solicitor. Ian thinks his siblings should share the high cost, as they?d benefit from any settlement. Adam doesn?t want to rock the boat and thinks he should cut his losses ? Brian will never let this fight go. But Ian?s determined not to let Brian walk all over them. He won?t let Adam give up after giving 20 years of his life to Home Farm.

As Chris packs his and Martha?s things ahead of Harrison?s return from Yorkshire, he shares with Fallon his hopes that his flat will be ready soon. Last time he lived at Susan and Neil?s, they almost sent him doolally. Hannah calls, letting Chris know that one of the farriers for the Borchester Show has been injured and will have to pull out of the pairs. Fallon suggests that Chris takes his place. Later, he worries about demonstrating his skills in front of his peers, but Fallon speculates on the real reason for his reticence ? Chris lacks the sun-kissed glow of many of the farriers on social media! At Tracy?s, she and Susan are shocked to see the arrival of Bert by taxi. Thinner and unshaven, Bert insists that Clive has cared well for him, but Clive?s new job means it?s impractical now, so he?s back ? and unimpressed to find his bedroom being used for laundry. Bert is not impressed that Susan is going to a Fleetwood Mac tribute and Tracy?s working at The Bull. Nor is he happy that she?s taken on more dairy work. Treating him to a meal and a pint, Tracy takes him to work and Bert reluctantly lets Brian sit with him. Brian listens to Bert?s grumbles about his family and being made to feel a burden but reproaches him ? Bert should be proud to have such hardworking, caring daughters. Put out, Bert fires back that Brian is high and mighty and has no right to interfere, considering his own family?s issues.

Martyn mobilises a team with water tankers to help David remedy the equestrian ring at the Showground. Delighted David buys the drinks at the Bull. Neil catches Ed to find out what?s going on with him and Martyn. Neil?s horrified as Ed explains Martyn?s offer of some lucrative tree work in exchange for informing on Brian at Home Farm.

Keira feels pressured by her family to show the Texels for Ed at the Borchester Show, but admits to George she doesn?t want to be centre of attention. As George pressures Keira to face up to responsibility she makes a pointed comment about him not refusing the Gordons? cot, before escaping George after his clumsy remark about her running away.

Neil encourages George to start listening to Keira, before talking about how George can be a good parent. He steers George to realise the Grundy cot is best. George asserts the other one can stay at the Gordons? place. He thanks Neil for setting him straight.

George apologises to Keira. She jokes the apology should be for the last four years. They work together to choose a Texel ewe for the show. George is pleased they?re talking and insists he?s not giving up on them. Keira starts to soften. After reluctantly agreeing to be filmed halter training by George, the two chat and Keira opens up about her feelings towards George and her parents. Keira agrees to show the Texels. She still needs to say her piece to George, and will let him know when she?s figured it out.

With Martyn Gibson?s water company links, Neil asks a favour of him to help David and Chris with the Show?s equestrian situation. Neil shocks Martyn by revealing that Adam has left Home Farm, quickly realising Martyn didn?t know, as Martyn storms over to see Brian. Martyn wants assurance that Home Farm will honour their contract for the Borchester Land harvest. Ed reassures Martyn and Brian props Ed up as his deputy, leaving Martyn to make a pointed comment about paying Ed a manager?s salary, and Ed tentatively asking Brian about this. Brian puts him off and suggests a drink.

Neil?s faux pas leads Susan to wonder about offering Adam work in the shop while Jim?s away. They also discuss George and Amber falling out over the Gordons? posh cot, and Bert staying at Clive?s. Neil thinks they need a city break, like Jim.

Lottie invites Neil and Susan to join her and Chris in the busy Bull, also offering Neil a way to avoid Martyn. She then includes Brian and Ed.

Privately, Martyn offers Chris some help with the Show, then finds Ed. Martyn wants Ed to effectively spy on Brian at Home Farm and report back to him. Ed?s not keen, and Martyn offers a potential bribe in the form of a large tree surgery job. It appears Ed won?t be bought though.

At their table, Lottie invites everyone?s best idea for Pip and Stella?s ?Lesbi-Hen? party. Susan wins the prize of a free dinner with her idea of a treasure hunt based on meaningful locations around the village.
