Helen makes an important decision while Ben and Ruairi hatch a plot.

Ben tells Ruairi about the disagreements at Brookfield over the farm’s future direction. Ben doesn’t want to lose the sheep. Ruairi’s got his first Home Farm partnership meeting next week and Ben’s given him an idea of something to say. Meanwhile, they visit the old caravan that they held an anti-Valentine’s party in a few years ago. Ben explains he and Evie are struggling to find somewhere private to be together so he wants to do up the caravan. Ruairi thinks it’s a lost cause but Ben persuades him it could be useful once properly done up.
Kirsty won’t give anything away about The Mystery Plays to Helen. Lynda’s keeping her busy which is helping take her mind off the fate of the lads that Philip sold. Kirsty reveals she has a visiting order for Philip and wonders about going to see him in prison. Helen doesn’t think it’s wise.
Helen jokes with Lee that Henry has him down as a soft touch but Lee doesn’t find it funny. He’s still cut up about momentarily losing Henry last week. Later Helen tells him she’s realised how comfortable she is with having Lee in her life and she asks him if he’ll make a new home with her and her boys. He’s over the moon.
