David gets sent to the back of the queue.
Ed confides in Oliver - he went to see Fallon yesterday and she's looking terrible. Oliver tries to build him up - Ed has tried, but unfortunately things didn't work out. Now he's had the courage to face that. Ed wishes he'd never got involved with her in the first place. Some people are better off on their own, and he's one of them.
Oliver is feeling very low too - Caroline takes him out for a ride. Later, Oliver tries to explain - it's bad enough having TB in his herd, and he's worried about Ed - he's done so well, and now, with the break-up with Fallon and the farm in crisis... well, somehow Oliver feels responsible for him.
Adam sends Brian to buy a spring for one of the trailers. It's not the best of jobs, and Brian has to go all the way to Lincolnshire to the manufacturers - exactly what Brian made Adam do in a previous harvest. But when Brian returns, he witnesses David giving Adam a piece of his mind. David's paying Adam to harvest the Brookfield crops. If he was going to be this late, a phone call would have been nice. He's right, says Brian. It's as well to remember the PR.
