The waiting is over for Ruth.

Brian's pleased that Ruairi's now settled at school but wishes Kate was over here with Nolly. He tells Jennifer that yesterday's meeting with the accountant went well. He was positive about the anaerobic digester, even though it's such a steep investment. Jennifer's amazed that Brian thinks they should step out of the picture and leave overall control to Adam and Debbie once it's up and running. She thinks his plan to sell or lease the land to them is a fantastic opportunity and she's really grateful to Brian.

Ruth can't sleep and Heather joins her in the kitchen in the early hours.

On the way to the hospital, Ruth has to tell David to shut up. He's so nervous he's rattling on about anything.

The operation goes well and when Ruth comes round David's at her side. A nurse tells Ruth he's been there since she came back to the ward. They're both relieved that the op's over and everything went well. Ruth tells David how she touched her eternity ring as she waited to go to sleep and reminds him of the engraving "Just remember that I love you". She tells him that she does. More than ever.
