It's Peggy's party and she'll cry if she wants to.

Tom's busy at Bridge Farm when he answers a call from impatient Jazzer, telling him he needs to get over to Home Farm. When Tom arrives, Jazzer shows him two pigs with scratched faces. Jazzer blames Gary for not keeping an eye on the food, which the pigs have been fighting over. How many more mistakes can Gary make before Tom fires him?

Tom eventually calls Gary and lets him go, to Jazzer's delight. Brian appears, telling Tom he's seen his pigs fighting. But Tom says he's already fired Gary. Gloating Brian and Jazzer suggest they help find Gary's replacement. Tom tells them he'll manage.

Jennifer's feeling guilty about what happened with Peggy, wishing she had listened to Lilian. When Jennifer and Lilian arrive at the Lodge, Peggy explains how difficult it is for her, giving up responsibility for Jack. Jennifer apologises to Peggy for putting Jack in The Willows, which Peggy appreciates - she knows this is hard for Jennifer to admit. Peggy tells them how difficult it is feeling old - she can't manage her own life any more. Jennifer tells her they'll set up a rota to help, but Lilian and Peggy interrupt. Peggy suggests they need a professional carer, like Maria.
