At Berrow Farm, Martyn Gibson is concerned about costs in their challenging pig industry and warns Jazzer that they’ll need to make hefty savings. Jazzer fishes for information – does he mean job losses? Martyn assures him that Jazzer's job at least is safe. Jazzer is worried. Hannah’s put an offer in for her first house – and what about Neil?

After talking about the stormy forecast for the wedding, David shares with Brian that he feels Josh has been alienated from Brookfield, and now they’ve lost him. Brian argues that David and Ruth are doing much better than he is with his family.

Alistair’s missing his dad Jim and just wants to meet Jazzer for a friendly pint. But on getting to the bar he’s accosted by Martyn who feels Alistair’s vet invoice was a bit steep. Brian joins in the criticism, suggesting that in the future, with all the welfare monitoring tech available to farms, vets might find themselves redundant.

In The Bull, Brian insists on buying Stella a drink, and she’s joined by Hannah as they’re celebrating Hannah’s new house offer being accepted. Stella loudly vents her frustration with Josh cancelling his wedding plans apparently for a new girl he’s met in Patagonia. She’s appalled when Brian points out that David has overheard. Outside the pub David says he understands her frustration but is really disappointed with her. She shouldn’t have voiced it so clearly to their community. He’s so hurt that he no longer wants to walk her down the aisle.
