Tracy is feeling nervous, and Ed needs a word with George.

As Will and Ed service the hay baler they agree Mia and Brad are good kids; their GCSE results have been great. Ed wishes George was more like them, but Will reckons he’s just finding his way. He broaches George’s request to move from Little Grange into the farmhouse. Will’s not sure what Emma would think about it and Ed says he’ll run it by her.  Will says carefully that George wants to move partly because of Ed having a go at him all the time. Ed insists he loves George and wants the best for him. Will suggests he lets George know that. Later Ed promises George that he won’t be so hard on him. He says he’ll support George’s request to move if George agrees to keeping a bedroom at each property – his mum’s more likely to go for that. George readily agrees.

Tracy and Chelsea are delighted that Brad smashed his exams. But he’s disappointed in a few of the grades and it takes Tracy’s skill as a mum to buoy him up and turn his mood around to a positive state of mind. Chelsea’s got him a Star Wars related present. Brad’s amazed and touched, and Chelsea promises to watch one of the films with him. Later George suggests to shocked Brad that they vape, before bragging that his sob story about finding it hard to live at Little Grange has earned him a place at Grange Farm. What’s more he’ll have two bedrooms, and his dad and Ed are being lovely to him – genius!
