Adam feels the need to help, and Toby says seize the day.

Alistair drops in on Brookfield to see how they are and tags along with David to move some heifers. They look good but David wonders whether the herd has a future. Alistair fills David in on Berrow's problems - looks like it's botulism (to be confirmed). They just hope it's not as bad as it could be. 

Pip fetches the cows as Ruth deals with a call - she's dealing with Heather's probate. Ruth worries that an expensive winter could push the farm into a loss. This makes Pip wonder about whether the farm can survive with the three of them. Ruth assures Pip she did the right thing in coming home - and looks forward to hanging Pip's graduation photo on the wall.

Pip asks Toby if he's spoken to Adam about share farming yet. He needs to motivate the less ambitious Rex. Toby even advises Pip, sensing that she's being negative - she should do something about her dairy problem and find a way to make a local operation turn a profit.

Adam has spoken to Charlie and can tell he's in pieces. He and David can help by providing some silage, as Charlie needs to bring in outside feeds. Adam and David agree they need to help Charlie - and to get others involved.
