Ed raises a concern, and Josh runs into problems.

Having dealt with an unhappy customer on the phone, Josh complains to Ruth about the volume of Ben's music, then escapes to concentrate. Working from the bus shelter, Josh rants to Ed about Rex - it's his fault they incorrectly advertised a crop-sprayer and both the buyer and the seller are annoyed. 

Kenton chances across Ruth in Borchester and asks after David. He's heard about the argument at Brookfield on Friday. Back at The Bull, Kenton's cornered by Toby who wants to peddle his latest batch of gin - The Bull can have first refusal. Later, Josh tastes Toby's new batch of gin and continues to moan about Rex. He disappoints Toby with his limited vocabulary when giving his opinion on the gin.

Ed asks Pip for a quick word. He's wondering if the cows that escaped from Brookfield, which he helped her with, have anything to do with the spread of IBR round Ambridge. Pip tries to stay cool and brushes off Ed's suggestion. Later, Pip panics to Toby about Ed's inkling. She's not sure she can take on the management of the herbal leys herd when she knows that the spread of IBR was down to her. Toby comforts Pip but she can't shake her worry that Ed might start telling other people what he knows.
