Kirsty calls a helpline about Helen. She tells them that Rob has slapped Helen. She says they initially seemed to be "a perfectly normal middle class couple". The helpline woman tells her that coercive control has recently been made a criminal offence. She asks Kirsty to pass the helpline number on to Helen, and encourages her to ring.
Eddie and Clarrie are feeding the pigs. Alf, Eddie's errant brother, arrives out of the blue for the party. Eddie is surprised. Alf apologises for his past transgressions, namely taking cash from William's money box. Eddie says that is all forgotten. Before the party, Joe, Alf and Clarrie start on the homebrew cider. They reminisce and talk about Ed's college course. George tells Alf that he heard Alf was a burglar. Alf tells him not to believe everything you hear.
Kirsty is helping out at the barn dance, but she's distracted. Wayne proves to be popular, especially after singing "The Prince of Grundys". Eddie makes a heartfelt speech about how happy he is to be back at Grange Farm. He has been given a second chance, and he has his family around him... including Alf. He dedicates the speech to Clarrie. Clarrie finds that money is missing from her purse. Kirsty leaves messages for Helen, while everyone else is enjoying the party. Alf and Eddie agree that money doesn't count, but family does. Eddie says right now he feels like a millionaire. Show less
