There’s an awkward encounter for Emma and a sensitive issue is raised for Brian

Emma brings George and Keira to the Grange Farm field with a homemade card for Joe.  Emma regrets that her last few encounters with Joe were awkward, since her split with Ed. Ed assures her Joe thought she was one in a million. He reports that Oliver’s allowing them to stay on at the farm a while longer. Ed recounts a familiar ‘Joe and ferret’ story to amused Keira. The mood’s broken when she declares she liked it when Ed came home every night. Emma hurries Keira away, leaving downcast Ed with his sheep.
David admires Adam’s steers. Brian wonders whether it’ll be worth staying in beef. They laugh that the only certainty is that Adam’s about to bombard David with Xander photos.
Selina at Hassett Hills has found an abattoir to tide them over, but Vince refuses to meet with her. David says he only wants to talk to him and Adam. They reluctantly acknowledge Vince is calling the shots; they’ll have to agree to a meeting. They’re less than impressed when later the meeting’s arranged all on Vince’s terms.
Elizabeth tells Brian about her afternoon of reminiscences with Ruairi. Brian agrees Ruairi shouldn’t be bottling things up, and that Jennifer should be aware of this too. He’ll need to find the right way of raising it with her.
