What’s the story with Adil? David tries his hand at photography.

Roy attempts to continue the conversation with Adil that he began yesterday. He suggests they go to the pub for lunch. Adil observes that as Roy’s been in Ambridge all his life, he must like it. Roy agrees that on its day, there aren’t many lovelier places. Adil thinks so too. They relax and exchange chat. Adil reassures Roy he has no problem with his past – and in turn Roy needs to stop worrying about what other people think of him working with Adil. They need to forge ahead with the future of Grey Gables.

Steph Casey’s taken over the Brookfield kitchen as she prepares herself and husband Liam for photos to help promote the farm. She’s full of ideas for good shots, though Ruth observes Liam’s not looking too happy. Stella arrives to finalise arrangements for shearing the Brookfield flock at Home Farm. She raises her eyebrows at the sight of David photographing flamboyant Steph. Ruth suggests they leave them to it, and instead shares with Stella the plans for the new winter housing for the cows. Stella confides to Ruth her concern for Brian. He’s clearly very tired with the fallout from Alice’s divorce. They’re interrupted once more by Steph, who’s had enough of Liam. He’s stormed off the shoot. She wells up, asking David and Ruth what their secret is. They impart some wise words of advice, and Steph pronounces them a great example of a happy marriage. She longs for this for herself and Liam. David suggests she starts by picking up the phone.
