Pat is feeling outnumbered, and the Grundys need to make plans.

The Grundys have heard Oliver and Caroline are returning to Ambridge. Joe worries about where they will live but Eddie is sure they'll sort something out. The father and son duo add mushroom compost to the flowerbeds at Ambridge Hall while Lynda and Robert visit Bearfield Manor. On their way there, they give Emma a lift. After their trip to Greenbury, Emma and Fallon want to plan a jumble trail in Ambridge. Meanwhile, Ed has been busy making elfish furniture for a surprise for Kiera.
While helping Jill with the bees, Josh tells Jill he wants to promote the pastured eggs on Open Farm Sunday but is parents don't want Hollowtree to be part of the tour. Afterwards, they take a look at an old hen house of Jill's that has been left to go to ruin. It's falling to pieces and Jill's not sure if it can be of any use.
Tony helps Pat make a new batch of cheese. They talk about how busy Tom is and how little time they have with Henry. Pat wonders about Helen and can't see the sense in not granting her bail, she's also angry that she can't visit her. Later, Emma lets Tony and Pat know that the tea room doesn't need the usual sausage order. Business is so slow they're still using up last week's batch. The impact on Bridge Farm gets Pat worked up. Furthermore, it seems to Pat that it's only Tony, Tom, Kirsty and herself who still think Helen's got a case worth fighting for.
