Brian's nightmare continues, and Jill offers support.

Jennifer's not looking forward to seeing Clarrie or Eddie after Alice's behaviour.

Alistair pops to Brookfield to see to a cow with broken hoof. Jill tells Alistair he's like a son to her - he mustn't give up hope, and no matter what Shula says Jill's sure this isn't the end. 

Will wants to have Jake and Mia back from Andrew after the Easter break. Clarrie's full of praise for how he's coping. Will couldn't do it without her and thanks her. Will asks Brian if he can start back at work next week but on a part-time basis. 

Ruth goes to see Brian. She thinks BL have missed a chance to give a real boost to the local community with the agricultural megastore. Ruth thinks Brian should tell Ruairi what's been going on at Low Mead. Ruth relays what Bert told her about the Brantford brothers. She suggests that Brian might want to try tracking them down on the internet. He says he's never heard of them. 

Brian tells Jennifer that Ruth might have stumbled upon the truth - the connection between the chemicals at Home Farm and the Brantford brothers - and if she starts digging around she might go to the Environment Agency. If they make a case against Brian, the insurance won't pay out and they'll lose everything.
