Ed and Fallon hit the rocks at Woolacombe.
Eddie doesn't help David by wondering if the Moulin Rouge float that Pip will on at the Borsetshire Show is a bit risqué. David is clearly not happy about it, and Ruth plays him along.
David and Ruth go off to the Royal Show, and meet up with a specialist in grass-based milk production. Ruth is keen to develop their extended grazing and consider keeping the cows out for even longer.
Fallon and Ed have a walk on the beach, and Fallon decides she's got to make Ed talk. She challenges him with the fact that he is still in love with Emma, and Ed can't deny it. He's devastated when Fallon tells him their relationship will have to end. She loves him, but she can't share his heart with someone else.
