Emma is at her wits end, and Tom's frustrations increase.

Preparations continue for Bridge Farm and Brookfield's joint Open Farm Sunday. Tom's concerned that it might be too much for Pip, who is eight weeks from her due date, but she knows her limits. Rex shows them that Josh has put his phone number in massive writing on all the signs for the machinery trail. Tom thinks it's a perfectly sensible business strategy, and criticises Pip for trying to convince him that she's displaying the Herefords just to please the families - at least Josh is honest about looking to make money. Tom apologises for snapping. Rex asks how Pip's ante-natal classes are going, and Pip reveals that Toby's been in trouble for disrupting the class. Before he leaves Rex asks Tom what Hannah drinks - he wants to thank her for some pig advice. He's surprised when Tom brushes him off.

Emma tries to persuade Mia to open up about quitting football, but Mia insists that she's just gone off it. Will's told Poppy not to disturb Mia at night any more, and decides that she must be telling the truth about suddenly hating football. He won't listen when Emma suggests there's more to it. Later she laments to Kirsty that Mia is obviously exhausting herself trying to take Nic's place. Everyone apart from Will can see it.
