The stress takes its toll on Peggy.

Tom is struggling to move pig arks when an impatient Brian stops by to see how far he has got with the costings for the Tom Archer brand. Brian is concerned that Tom is concentrating all his efforts on Bridge Farm, but Tom assures him that everything is in place to launch a premium bacon. Meanwhile at Home Farm Brian's getting ready for the shoot whilst Jennifer recounts news from Debbie and Alice.

Lilian's still in a mood with Matt, as clearly he doesn't understand why she's worried about Peggy and Jack and how they're coping. She thinks she'll pop round, but Matt suggests he'll go instead.

Matt arrives at Peggy and Jack's to find all is certainly not well - Jack is in disarray and Peggy looks as if she has had a stroke! Fortunately an anxious Lilian arrives before the ambulance, which seems to take an age in getting there. It finally arrives and Peggy and Lilian go off to Felpersham leaving a compassionate Matt in charge of Jack, reassuring him that Peggy will be back right as rain.
