Matt learns who his friends are.

Brian explains to Peggy that he went ahead with the supermarket deal without Tom because he became frustrated and thought he knew what was best for Tom. Peggy suggests Brian put too much pressure on Tom. He couldn't expect Tom to agree to the deal going ahead without him. But Brian says he can't send Tom on his way with his share of the business. Peggy proposes that she buys Brian's share for a fair figure, and he agrees. He'll be pleased not to have to worry about Tom any more.

Tom confides to Helen his worries about Peggy's meeting with Brian. He'll hardly give Tom a glowing reference. They're discussing Tom's missing boar when Helen gets a mystery international call on her mobile.

Brian later tells Helen that he and Peggy had a good meeting, but Helen's interrupted when she gets a second mystery call.

Eddie claims he's found Harry in his field, and wants paying for his time and trouble in catching the boar. But Clarrie gives the game away later, revealing Harry was found in Barbarella's pen. She even has a photo on her phone. But Tom agrees to pay Eddie anyway - he needed a laugh.
