Ruth has to lie to Phil about what has happened to the fictional catalogue (the real one is hidden under his mattress). David and Ruth are out checking the cattle when Ruth notices that one of them is down. It's grass staggers, and they get some magnesium into her quickly while they wait for Alistair. David kicks himself for putting the cows onto that rich grass for so long, when they were so hungry.

Adam has to bite the bullet and go and see Matt. Ambridge Heat and Power had no joy with neighbouring farmers, and they need to ask Borchester Land if they would like to come in on the Anaerobic Digester. Matt is gleeful. He asks for paperwork and says he'll take the suggestion to the board. Adam tells David that Matt enjoyed watching him squirm.

Alice comes back from her interview for the RAF. It was really tough. She can see the areas in which she did well, but she is by no means convinced that she performed well enough throughout. Adam tries to keep her spirits up, but she's not in the mood for a pep talk. She just wants to go home to bed.
