Ed turns over a new leaf, and Peggy makes her mind up.

Eddie puts the finishing touches to the truck, ready for Darrell to move in. He tells Ed he was ashamed of Will and Ed last night. They looked like they wanted to kill each other. They weren't thinking about George at all. Ed apologises, saying it doesn't matter what Will does now, he's going to change. What matters most to him is his family. Eddie hopes he means it.
 
Tony feels happier, telling Pat he enjoyed his chat with David last night. They're delighted when Kirsty asks if they can have their reception at Bridge Farm. However Tony's good mood goes when Tom tells him about his cropping plans. Pat sympathises when Tony says there was a time when Tom would have consulted Tony. Peggy's will has given Tom licence to do whatever he likes. 

Helen and Rob visit Peggy. Helen's grateful for Peggy leaving her The Lodge and for making Rob feel welcome. Peggy says she was concerned that Rob was married, but wanted to make up her own mind. Rob has heard rumours of Susan's lottery win. He says being with Helen is like winning the lottery. Peggy is charmed. Henry needs a good father figure. The sooner they can be properly together the better. Life's too short.
