Kenton speaks his mind, and Peggy speaks from the heart.

Shula's the first of David's siblings to make a decision about her share of Brookfield: she wants to cash it in and explains that she plans to upgrade her business with the money, improving facilities and employing more staff. Being the main bread winner should take some pressure off of Alistair as well. 

Unaware of Shula's decision, Elizabeth confides in her sister that she (rather guiltily) also wants to cash in her own share. Elizabeth's amazed to learn that Shula has already asked for hers. They've no idea what Kenton will decide. Elizabeth tells David and Ruth her decision - the money will help with her debt from the dairy conversion. She's also keen to safeguard Freddie and Lily's future.

Tom tells Helen that Tony's not improving as quickly as the doctors would like, following his tracheostomy. Helen's so relieved to have Tom home, although Rob and Johnny are doing sterling work. Tom's also happy to be reunited with his own pigs. Helen tells him not to beat himself up for going away.

Helen and Tom agree that, on Pat's advice, there's no point worrying Peggy with an update on Tony's condition - they just hope for some good news soon. Let's wait and see, says Tom.
