Pat and Tony have cause for optimism.

Kenton ask David how Shula is. David says to ask her himself. When Kenton arrives at the Stables, he's surprised to find Shula mucking out. Shula tells him how Alan tore a strip off her over Usha. Shula says it was a genuine mistake and if it had been anyone else it would have been forgotten by now.

Adam brings David up to speed with the latest on the digester. Tony arrives to thank David for putting him on to the consultant, Martin Burridge. He knows his stuff and seems positive about getting the planning application thrown out. After he's left, Adam tells David that Annabelle's suggested employing a consultant for the digester project. David's concerned that the costs will spiral. Adam says that Annabelle thinks spending a few hundred pounds now could potentially save thousands.

Pat bumps into Adam at Home Farm. They have disagreed over a few things recently. Pat knows that Adam has asked for Matt's help with the digester, so is surprised to learn that he backs her over the barn. Pat and Tony start to see light at the end of the tunnel. Tony says if he can save the barn, he won't care about anything else.
