Tom builds bridges at Bridge Farm.

Roy and Hayley prepare to leave Lower Loxley. They've enjoyed staying there but can't wait to get home and really make it theirs.

The pasture's still not quite ready but David and Ruth are excited at the prospect of getting the cows in the paddocks soon. Ruth can't see Pip keeping up her five-mile radius eating plan throughout Lent.

Mike tells Tom about Neil's surprise trip to London for Susan. Tom's mind is on other things so he agrees to see to the pigs on Friday as well as Thursday without a fight.

Tom finally apologises to Hannah and admits to reacting badly when he learned that Brian had asked her to do extra work. He appreciates her hard work and tries to explain his situation with Brian. Hannah understands how Tom feels and admits she's going to say no to Brian. She thinks she's better off out of it and is leaving next week, as planned.

Brenda and Mike turn up to help Hayley and Roy unpack but they're already sorted. Mike knew Tom wasn't himself earlier, and asks Brenda if he's ill. Brenda tells Mike that the hassle with Brian is really getting Tom down. She's worried about him.
