Pip is trying to cope, and Charlie needs help.

At Brookfield, Pip comforts Bert as he frets about Freda. Pip in turn worries about her dad. The pit in the milking parlour is filling up again and she needs him. Tom arrives by tractor. They work together to uninstall the milk pump until the morning. It's a difficult job with the water still rising, but between them they succeed. They all settle down by the warmth of the range to wait it out.

Eddie and Ed rescue an errant turkey by boat. They continue to search for people, commenting along the way that they hope Rob's OK. His head looked bad, but at least he's talking. They stop for a moment, convinced they can hear a sound like someone calling - but they conclude it's just the wind and head back to the hotel.

Adam abandons checking the sheep in favour of helping Charlie clear a culvert. It's blocked up with junk so the digger can only go so far, but Charlie resolves to clear it by hand. Adam thinks he's being an idiot. As the flow of water increases, Charlie is dragged under and gets his foot trapped. Adam releases him but he's not breathing. Eventually Adam manages to revive him. Relieved Adam declares he's not going to leave Charlie.
