Brian suspects the worst for Will.

Adam's getting the caravans ready for the imminent arrival of his seasonal workers. He's also busy coordinating the construction of the themed dino-maze. Adam's pleased that Brian has recognised his talents as a manager and is finally prepared to leave the farm in his and Debbie's capable hands. David, aware that Brian has merely buckled under pressure from Jennifer, says very little.

David and Ruth are preparing for the open day at Brookfield, and Pip's busy practicing for the YFC disco-dancing competition. Ruth is enjoying getting back into the swing of farming life but David remains very protective.

Will tells Brian about the buzzard he buried. Astounded, Brian insists Will talks to the police and suggests he double-checks Malcolm's references. Will informs the police of his actions and the buzzard is taken for a post-mortem. Will's not convinced the police believe him, and Malcolm's former employers reaffirm Malcolm's reliability.

When Brian notifies Matt of Will's actions, Matt is ready to sack Will. Brian convinces him not to be hasty but Matt warns that if Will doesn't get the situation under control, he'll know what to expect.
