Roy has a party to plan, and Brian is feeling rattled.
Brian sounds off to Jennifer about Adam doing away with a system they've relied on for 30- years at Home Farm - has Adam really thought it through? Jennifer sympathises with Adam and encourages Brian to trust him. Kate is firmly on Adam's side regarding sustainable farming - Adam's herbal ley is flowering beautifully.
Lilian's going to help Kate develop a business plan for her new idea. Lilian shares with Kate her own worry in dealing with Amside's unpaid bills. Lilian tries to get Kate to have a drink with her, but Kate suggests an alternate stress reliever and they try some meditation.
Roy makes brief mention of his new neighbours, although he hasn't met them yet. Roy asks Kate to team up with him in organising a family birthday party for Phoebe. He suggests a barbecue at Home Farm. Kate scoffs at the idea of it being at Roy's but he's secretly pleased when Phoebe decides that that is exactly where she wants it.
Brian asks David for advice. He admits that all Adam's new plans are starting to get to him.
