Clarrie stakes her claim at the dairy and Elizabeth makes some strategic decisions.

Clarrie's in a hurry to get to the dairy before Vicky, when Emma pops round to see if she can do anything to help. Clarrie tells her it's a bit late now. She needed the help when she was in plaster.
Clarrie ticks Vicky off for loading the orders wrong. Vicky blames it on Clarrie's list being illogical but Clarrie thinks it's down to common sense. Pat tries to smooth things over, and asks Clarrie to help her in the cheese room. It'll be useful to have her trained up, while Helen's on leave. Clarrie doesn't want it to be a regular thing. Pat assures Clarrie she'll be back working with Susan soon. She's only asked Vicky to stay on this week so that Clarrie can ease herself back in. 
Elizabeth's anxious about the plans for Easter. She wants Lewis to double-check everything, and thinks David should concentrate more on managing the estate. That's where Nigel would have been now, out there planning for the Spring. It's a relief to David. Lewis realises that all this work is taking its toll on David's family life but feels Elizabeth is nowhere near ready to attempt work full time. In his opinion, she's far too fragile.
