It is a big day at Home Farm, and Pip has a visitor.

Pip is not very hungry, she's nervous about what the day holds. Matthew is coming to visit, even though he's already said they should end their relationship. Before that, with help from Josh, Pip moves her cattle from Brookfield to Home Farm.

The mob-grazing herd is now complete. It's a big moment that David, Ruth and Jennifer turn out to see. Josh is sceptical whether it will make any money. Pip hopes to prove him wrong. Adam says they never pretended it anything other than experiment and it might looked back on as a game changer. As they watch the cattle settle, Adam tells Pip that Brian and Will are not happy about the elves in the Millennium Wood. They're concerned about the impact the visitors they are attracting are having on the pheasants.

Back at Brookfield, David and Ruth notice the awkward atmosphere on Matthew's arrival. David suggests Pip takes Matthew to see the herd she'll be managing at Home Farm. Matthew is impressed with the herd. He tells Pips she's a great farmer. Their relationship won't work because they're both so committed to their work. Pip insists there must be a way but Matthew points out that Brookfield is more important to her future than he is.
