Events spiral for Tom, while Ben offers a suggestion.

Ruth is delighted to see Stella at Open Farm Sunday. Stella explains she’s been advised she has a strong case for unfair dismissal against Brian. Part of her would love to drag him through a tribunal, but Justin is urging to hold tight until the emergency BL board meeting he’s called for later this week. Later, David suggests to Stella that managing Home Farm has many benefits and not much risk. All she has to do is make Brian feel like he’s still in charge. Maybe that’s not too high a price to pay.
Meanwhile, Harrison has also dropped in at Brookfield. Ben teases him gently about his increased interest in outdoor activities. Compared to farming, the tasks are pretty lightweight. Nonetheless, Harrison is enjoying connecting with nature. Ben invites him to join him the next time he takes Bess out.
Lee gets into Tom’s car. He feels guilty about lying to Helen that he’s going to a friend’s karate tournament. Tom reassures him that all they’re going to do is speak to Rob and tell him to stay out of Helen’s life and that he can’t see Jack. On the way, Tom opens up about John’s death and how it made him want to hold the family together. Lee talks about his daughters and how hard it is not being around to protect them. Pulling into Manor Farm, they see Rob. Later, Tom and Lee jump back into the car, after some kind of altercation. Despite their panic, Tom urges Lee not to worry. Hopefully Rob got the message. It’ll be fine.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
