Rex is keeping a careful eye on Basil the boar. Despite the sows being in heat, Basil’s showing no interest in them. He suggests Toby should be putting more time into childcare. As he seemingly has time to spare, he enlists Toby’s help with Basil. They agree to make his wallow deeper in case he’s too hot. Unfortunately, the wallow works too well, and Basil only drags himself out for food. Rex holds a pig summit at The Bull to determine what’s affecting Basil’s libido. Meanwhile, Toby’s worked out how to ease the childcare pressure on Pip.
Vince introduces himself to Justin, who’s practising shooting ahead of pheasant season. Justin isn’t there to play games and refuses to give Vince information about his bid for Crowthers. Vince warns Justin that Casey Meats is looking to expand – he shouldn’t mess with the big boys. Vince does all he can to put Justin off his game, then wishes him luck for shooting season; he’ll need it.
With his ego bruised, Justin meets Lilian at The Bull. He suggests she attends another lunch with Vince to do some spying for her. Lilian is appalled by the idea; she thinks Vince Casey is bad news and Justin would do well to pull out of the bid entirely. Bring it on, says Justin. Something tells Lilian she’ll have to deal with the fallout.
