David and Ruth face the future, while Lilian and Peggy share a moment.

Dan's looking forward to coming home on Friday and Shula's planning a special dinner. Alistair can't make it, as he'll be at a conference. Alistair's getting organised for the Single Wicket competition next weekend. Shula wonders if Dan will want to take part.

Eddie's taking Clarrie to the Charles Aznavour concert tonight. Lilian and Peggy discuss Helen's engagement. Pat and Tony aren't very pleased but Lilian is delighted that Rob is joining the family.

Lilian goes with Peggy to visit Jack's grave. Upset, Lilian tells Peggy it's a year since she lost a 'special friend'. Supportive Peggy admits that life feels empty without Jack to care for.

Alistair confirms that Ruth and David's flock has sheep scab. He can treat the sheep later in the week.
Open Farm Sunday is coming up and David wants to make it count. He's worried about the new road. If Route B goes ahead, this could be the last Open Farm Sunday for Brookfield. They resolve to fight. Ruth's going to write a historical piece about the Archer family's connection to the land, with help from Ben and Josh. Jill has started baking to raise money for the Borsetshire Farm Helpline. David and Ruth are holding firm, agreeing to face together whatever is thrown at them.
