It’s an emotional day for Eddie and Joy makes a friend.

Joy brings some jam over to Bridge Farm, as a thank you to Tony for fixing her engine. She apologises to Pat for taking up so much of her husband’s time, but is interrupted when they notice Pat’s goats have broken into the garden. Pat and Joy bond over herding the goats back into the paddock. Warming to Joy, Pat invites her in for a coffee, she can tell her what it’s really like to be a farmer.
Phoebe is left disappointed when Brian tells her it would be inappropriate for him to arrange her a hearing with the BL board. Phoebe explains the situation to Lilian, who thinks this is typical behaviour of Brian. She says she’ll choose her moment and speak to Justin on Phoebe’s behalf.
Eddie and Alf prepare to sell Joe’s rusted collection of metalwork for scrap. Afterwards, they celebrate their gains by sampling some of their homemade cider. They realise it was from the batch pressed on the day Joe died, the last Grange Farm cider with Joe’s name on it. Later, Eddie asks Alf if he’d like to spend Christmas with the family, but he declines. Alf doesn’t want to outstay his welcome. He leaves his share from the scrap sale for the family to treat themselves. After agreeing that they’ll share the last of Joe’s cider together one day, Alf leaves.
