Brian suspects today's round of golf is Matt's way of letting Brian know how well Amside is doing. Jennifer's not convinced about Amside. According to Adam, Lilian's a bit gloomy about it.

Matt does indeed tell Brian that Amside's doing remarkably well. He also asks Brian about the long term plans for Lower Loxley, and is convinced they could make more of the estate.

Henry's restless and Helen's relieved when Ian turns up and takes charge of him. It gives her chance to get ready for her first appointment with the health visitor, who is very pleased with them both. Ian tells Helen about Lynda's attempts to change the rota so that she will be on reception for the royal visit. It almost caused a walk-out, and Caroline had to arbitrate.

Pip's pleased when Ruth lets her take the car to get to college. With David still spending all hours at Lower Loxley, Pip makes a start on the lambing pens. She notices that the veterinary cupboard needs stocking up. Pip assures Ruth that between them they'll manage. But what really gets to Ruth is that David told Brian they didn't need his help anymore. Ruth just can't believe he said that.
