It's a bad day for Tom, and Toby has a proposal in store.

Tony teases Helen and Johnny for behaving like expectant parents ahead of the Montbeliardes’ calving date. 

In the Bull Jazzer complains Will nearly bit his head off this morning. Kenton reports that Jolene has left to go on tour as Fin Buckley’s backing singer. Kenton’s heard that Kate’s hosting a group of city kids from Birmingham at Spiritual Home next week. Derek Fletcher is furious about it; he’s concerned that Ambridge will be “overrun by urban lowlifes”. Toby delivers a case of Scruff Gin and fills Kenton in on preparations for Rosie’s christening.

Toby gives Helen his new business proposal for Scruff Gin. He explains that he wants to start making ‘milk gin’ from the whey left over from Helen’s cheese making. Helen’s busy preparing to make her new cheese and installing her new cheese vat. She admits to Tony that she’s feeling the pressure and Tony encourages her to have faith in herself. 

Tom’s furious to find escaped pigs in Home Field where his trees have recently been planted. He blames Jazzer for not having shut the gate but Jazzer’s quick to point out that it was Tom who picked the field for the pigs to go into. 

At cricket practice Tom relays what happened with the pigs to Roy. He half suspects Jazzer made the mistake on purpose. He also has other worries on his mind after discovering that Natasha has a number of credit card debts, as much as fifteen grand, he tells Roy.
