Helen's delayed at the shop, much to Rob's annoyance. There's nothing in the fridge for dinner. Tom has picked up details of a bull sale for Tony to look at, but Tony is more concerned with getting to the hospital for his check-up.
Ruth helps Heather pack and fills her in on Richard Locke's history in the village.
Tom suggests it would be good to keep the shop going at the farm even when the shop on the green reopens. Ruth and Heather arrive to buy some local produce for Heather to take back home with her. Tony returns from his check-up whilst they are there and is pleased with what they have told him. So much so that he insists that he will choose the bull as it's not Tom's area of expertise.
Rob makes clear his unhappiness at Helen spending so much time at the farm shop (and obviously enjoying it). He gets cross with Henry when he won't eat the meal that Rob has prepared. When Helen says she can't manage it, Rob blames it on her not being at home.
