Brian's day goes from bad to worse, and Joe is left in an embarrassing position.

At Grange Farm Emma's disappointed that her petition to stop Damara reducing the number of affordable houses hasn't had many signatures and Jennifer still hasn't put a link on the village website. Ed's concerned to hear that Joe and Emma had to rescue Peppa from a fence, especially when he's entering him in the Felpersham show, but Peppa's unharmed. Later, Joe tries to show them his Pets' Party Piece entry, but it goes wrong and Daphne gets stuck in his trousers.

At Home Farm, Adam's four pickers short, and facing a tight deadline to deliver strawberries. When the combine breaks down Brian suggests that he redeploys Ed, plus Andy and Debbie (who are hauling grain) to the polytunnels. They complete the order, but Adam is pressured by one of the pickers to pay a bonus for working an extra shift. Brian advises him to refuse - otherwise he'll never hear the end of it. The good news is that they've settled on a parcel of land to sell with the house. They all wish it hadn't come to that, but Adam's glad to know what land he'll be working after the harvest. Then Brian picks up an email from Ruth - she's resigning as Ruairi's attorney. Will the fallout from the contamination never end?
