Helen and Henry pay a visit and it's a stressful time for Ruth.

David's still busy at Lower Loxley. He can't let Elizabeth down. But Ruth needs more help too, and is frustrated that David hasn't even had time to ask Pip how her exams went on Monday. 
Helen brings Henry round to Brookfield but Ruth is called away when Eddie rushes in saying that two of the calves are coughing. Eddie's already called Alistair, who's on his way, but he's surprised that David never noticed anything earlier. Pip tells Helen that the house is mad at the moment with David at Lower Loxley every day. She enjoys having a hold of Henry, and suggests Helen takes him to show Elizabeth. They discuss Pip's 18th birthday plans to go to Barcelona with her friends. Helen's found a good deal to Salzburg for Tony's birthday, and has managed to persuade Tony and Pat to go
Ruth moans to Pip but Pip defends David - he's got a lot on his plate. Ruth snaps that he's not the only one, and Pip acknowledges that Ruth's under pressure too. David gets home, and admits he's slipped up. He won't let it happen again. Pip insists she'll do the evening stock check for David. She wants him to rest.
