Adam dreams of pastures new. Meanwhile Brian makes an unexpected move.

Eddie encourages Clarrie to read the Borchester Echo. He gnomically says he's got something in the pipeline that will boost sales. Clarrie's sceptical. She's just pleased to be picking up some shifts at the Bull while Fallon is on the road trip with Kirsty et al. 
Clarrie helps Eddie with an old freezer he's mysteriously acquired to store boar meat. She understands Eddie's hints when she later sees a press story about the Beast of Ambridge, with 'artist' Eddie marketing a statue of the creature. More worrying is his plan to sell the boar meat. Pat offers to do some research into the legalities. 
All the E coli claims have been finally settled. Pat assures mortified Clarrie that it's all in the past.
Brian tries to get Ian to change Adam's mind about leaving. Outspoken Ian thinks Brian's handled the situation badly, but admits he doesn't want to leave Ambridge. He'll see what he can do. 
Having spoken to Pawel while patching up a polytunnel, Adam tells Ian it's inspiring to be with someone whose ideals are intact. He thinks it would be good to spend some time overseas; Poland, perhaps. Furious Ian wants to know where that would leave him. 
Meanwhile Brian places an advertisement for a new farm manager.
