Susan's not interested in Annette's gossip about absent Matt and Lilian. She's getting employment rights advice from Usha later. Annette bemoans her own lack of employment rights - and lack of boyfriend

Susan is hopeful when Usha explains her potential rights to an unfair dismissal claim and redundancy pay, although this would only amount to a few thousand. Usha freely admits that she's agreed in principle to be on the shop committee. Susan hasn't been asked but intends to keep fighting.

As they head off to look at their new grassland, Mike is surprised that Ed disapproves of Jazzer's interest in Fallon. He doesn't want to see Fallon hurt; Jazzer will only be out for one thing. Will's Land Rover is parked across the track to their new fields. Ed is quick to put an angry note under Will's windscreen wiper, threatening to shove his Land Rover in a ditch. Mike despairs, wishing that the brothers could bury their differences.

Later, Will confronts Ed in the shop. The boys square up to each other as Will insists that if Ed carries out his threat, he'll call the police. A possible fight is diffused by Annette, who timidly asks Ed to pay for his shopping.
