Hayley asks some difficult questions. Meanwhile, Rob comes for lunch.

Pat's sending John's son Rich a 16th birthday card and cash.

The parish council has received the planning application for Borchester Land's new anaerobic digester (AD). Opinion seems to be split.

Fallon is excited about Loxfest. Hayley is fed up. Loxfest is all she hears about at the moment.
Fallon is prepared to leave Jaxx but daunted by her new solo business venture. She's defensive about PC Burns, insisting they're just friends. Hayley and Fallon reflect on relationships. Hayley enjoys feeling settled. She warns Fallon not to overthink things.

Rob drops Henry round to Bridge Farm but he is clingy and won't let Rob go. So Pat invites Rob in for lunch. Rob confides than he's not exactly for the new AD. It just doesn't feel like farming. He clams up about last Friday, when his parents were a no-show. Tony apologises to Rob for sticking their noses in. Rob says he has Helen and Henry now. He doesn't need anyone else.

Roy's held up at work, dealing with the demands of Loxfest headliners Quaintance Smith. Hayley is angry when Roy stays on and misses Abbie's school performance. Roy promises things will be normal after Loxfest. But Hayley feels Elizabeth is taking advantage of Roy. Loxfest aside, Hayley wants to know what's going on with her marriage. They can't go on like this.
