Bert treads carefully and Jennifer spreads shocking news

Adam feels guilty about the black grass and losing money for Home Farm, but Ian thinks Adam should give himself a break. After all, Brian has cost Home Farm money too and Adam has had a lot to deal with. Adam is touched that he has Ian’s support. Ian points out that Freddie dealing to the pickers is just hearsay. But Adam’s angry. The farm’s had enough scandal this year. Adam grudgingly admits that maybe it was quite useful when Brian was around to keep an eye on things.

Elizabeth’s frustrated in her search for solicitors – she can’t find anyone to take Freddie’s case. Bert thinks she needs to take a break, and convinces her to go to the Treetop Walk with him. Bert’s concerned that Geraldine is overwhelmed but Elizabeth doesn’t agree.

Jennifer tells Peggy that Freddie gave Noluthando drugs. Peggy’s appalled; surely Elizabeth should take more responsibility for Freddie’s actions. Jennifer reflects on Alan’s sermon and thinks she needs to be more charitable towards Elizabeth. Peggy thinks Freddie got exactly what he deserved but hopes to be reconciled with him once he faces up to the damage he’s done.

Jennifer mentions Christine’s worries over finances at the Laurels. Adam doesn’t understand why Christine’s fretting about money – surely selling Woodbine has left her with money in the bank? Peggy reassures them Christine doesn’t have anything to worry about.
