George makes a dangerous plan and Ben struggles to let go of the past

Pip, Lottie and Ben are on a night out, where talk turns to Pip’s love life. Lottie can’t believe there’s been no-one since Toby, but when she probes her further, Pip shuts Lottie down.  Later back at Rickyard Ben and Pip unwind.  Ben’s surprised to see David’s precious toy farm on the floor and Pip explains that David’s lent it to Rosie.  When Ben unloads about how much work is involved in running the B and B, Pip suggests Hannah staying there might make things easier.  But Ben’s not convinced; it would still be work, especially when he’s back at uni.  Pip suggests mentioning his concerns to Ruth.  Disaster strikes when Ben unwittingly treads on David’s toy farm base and it cracks.  Trying to regain his balance, he then causes more damage.  When Pip comments that Ben’s like Godzilla, Ben wonders how he’s going to tell David.
George and Henry unload the Bridge Farm van and George talks about his forthcoming family day out to the County Show.  Ed’s showing his Texels and he’s convinced that they’ll get a ton of rosettes. When Henry asks Helen if he can go along with them, she agrees, saying Henry will have a fantastic time.  Later Henry tells George that his stepdad’s been texting him.  When George wonders if he means Lee, Henry says no, the real one.  Rob’s going to meet Henry at the show, so Henry will probably do his own thing there without George.  George says that’s fine he can hang out with his mates.
