Jolene comes to a decision, and Ed has reason to celebrate.

Emma and Ed are meeting Miles today, and Will volunteers to advise on negotiations. At the site, Ed goes off with Miles, leaving Emma to mock Will and the ostentatious hazel thumb stick he’s brought for appearances. Ed returns alone and Emma fears the worst, but chipper Ed says the deal is agreed! Miles was impressed by their pitch. Over a celebratory coffee and cake with Will, Ed and Emma reflect - Miles was virtually on board from Emma’s first phone call to him. But they still need to get through an interview with the bank on Friday. Emma’s also over the moon about how well her course assignment went – she wrote about a poem that she feels could be all about Grange Farm, and Ed would like her to read it to him later. Natasha gleans the info about them grazing on Miles’s land, and doesn’t hold back in criticising Miles. But Emma insists they will be alright. 

Vince doesn’t let on to Elizabeth about his recent conversations with Jolene, as Elizabeth decides to have a chat with Jolene to offer support. Jolene says she’s alright – just day to day concerns and worrying about Kenton – playing down her serious worry. Remembering how Jolene helped her during her depression, Elizabeth encourages Jolene to accept help and talk to someone, volunteering herself. 

Vince lies to Elizabeth about leaving his phone on the bar. He speaks to Jolene again, explaining he didn’t put Elizabeth up to talking to her. Jolene reassures Vince that after her chat with Elizabeth she has decided to talk to Harrison tomorrow -  and tell him everything.
