Lilian has ammunition, and Emma eyes a new venture.

Eddie and Ed drive over to Penny Hassett to pick up some cider apples from Eddie's mate Colin. Joe thinks it'll be a waste of time, but joins them to exercise his power to veto substandard apples. Joe cheers up when he realises that the apples are rare tumble tussocks. Eddie is determined to find the tree from which they came.

Ed asks for Emma's help choosing which semen to buy to inseminate his Texels. She gives her opinion, but asks to be spared the details. Emma's upset to learn that Neil has already filled the space in the Parish Council. Ed thinks it sounds boring, but Emma wants her family to be taken seriously. Neil is pleased by her interest, and explains that it's not too late for her to stand against Robert. 

When Justin returns home from Edinburgh he discovers that Lilian has torn up the contract incorporating Amside into Damara. Lilian explains that she's been rethinking a lot of things after having discovered that Justin was working with Miranda. Justin tries to explain that he only kept that information from Lilian so as not to upset her. But he makes things worse by revealing that he allowed an elderly aunt of Miranda's to believe they were still married. A furious Lilian banishes him to the guest bedroom.
