David is on a history trip, and Susan makes a chilli.

Pip's preoccupied looking at renovation plans for the new farm. David reminds her they need to get going on their trip to the NFU archives. There, Pip learns about the open-air dairy system, which Dan Archer adopted. Pip reflects that Dan was clearly a real innovator. David agrees.

Neil has decided to have it out with Tom. It's Neil's role to call the shots and Tom needs reminding. But Neil is taken aback when a humble Tom preempts him, full of apology for not consulting Neil enough. From now on, says Tom, they're partners. They go to feed the pigs together.

Neil mentions he'd be keen to hear about Tom's time in Canada, before phoning Susan to report back that he's given Tom a firm talking-to.

Susan reflects on what a wonderful husband she has. She tries to gossip to David about Matt, and Jennifer's radio interview tomorrow. Talking of SAVE, David insists he still cares about the village

Later, David remembers moments of Brookfield history, like Pip getting a toy tractor for her first birthday. Pip agrees that whatever happens, wherever they go, Brookfield is a part of them.
