Tom makes a stand, and Eddie is at his wits' end.

The dairy is being steam-cleaned, and Pat explains to Tony that they can reopen after being checked by the environmental health officer on Monday.

Tom is frustrated. He thinks his parents are handling the outbreak badly and can't let it drop. In The Bull he explains to Brenda that he thinks they should go public on how it happened, narrowly avoiding offending Eddie in the process. Helen agrees that the business is more important than any village hostility. The two of them go to Pat and Tony to explain their opinions, but Tom's parents are adamant that they won't hang Clarrie out to dry.

Clarrie is depressed, and resists Nic's distraction techniques. Eddie tells Nic that Clarrie has been given the all clear, and suggests that Clarrie calls Pat to let her know.

Clarrie tells Pat the good news, and says that she can come back to work if Pat wants her to. Pat's response is guarded, as she explains to Clarrie that the dairy isn't yet open but she'll be in touch very soon. Keen to know what Pat said, Eddie's disappointed by Clarrie's lack of information, which has clearly upset her.
