Ed’s past returns to haunt him and events spiral out of control for Chris

Emma’s exasperated with Chris pouring cold water on her Flower & Produce Show idea, but she thinks he might have a point about some people struggling with the technology. She’s sure Bert will be up for it though and eager to show off his prowess with veg. Disappointingly she later discovers even Bert isn’t on board with it. 
Ed’s shocked to find the padlock has been removed from his field gate and replaced with a new one. He’s been locked out by the fly tippers, and surely this means they’re coming back. He enlists Will’s help to plan a stake out. Emma’s not happy – it’s bound to end in a fight. Some escaped pigs come to her aid, and she hopes the delay caused by the round up means Ed will have missed any returning fly tippers. As they set off she settles in for an anxious wait.
Chris has been getting some savage treatment online from Thandi over the injury to her horse’s foot. He thinks it’s just embarrassment over the gossip about her affair. But on Jakob’s advice he apologises to her, hoping she’ll lay off the online abuse now.
Undeterred by the delay caused by the escaped pigs, Ed and Will lie in wait in the dark. And Ed can’t believe what he sees.
