George attempts to make a good impression, and Alice faces a rude interruption.

It’s George’s first day at Bill’s showroom and he’s being shown the ropes by Conrad, the sales executive. He’s drafted online listings and Conrad is impressed with the photos George takes for the website, saying he’s living up to his reputation as a content creator. Conrad says he wants George to observe a sale. Martyn Gibson is buying a car and doesn’t acknowledge George to start with. When Conrad goes to take a call from Bill, Martyn talks about what he’s looking for in a car and George is able to offer helpful advice. George’s wrist gives him trouble as he gets Martyn his coffee and he accidentally splashes Conrad. Martyn debates over the car as George apologies and says he wasn’t trying to undermine Conrad. Luckily for them both, Martyn chooses a plug-in hybrid.

Rex brings Alice a cup of tea in bed to her surprise. Alice checks her phone and sees a number of missed calls from Tom, who is trying to get hold of Brian after a lot of gravel has been dumped at Bridge Farm by mistake. Rex returns with a pastry for Alice and she suggests they go down to try and sort it. The earliest the company can move the gravel is tomorrow which is no good for milking at Bridge Farm and Tom is the only one around to help. Alice offers Rex’s help which Tom accepts and offers to repay with a drink at the Battling Bulls social tomorrow. Later, Alice and Rex are joking over Brian’s offers to also thank them for their help before jumping in the shower together.
