Jack moves into his new home.

Pip got some free time from college, so joins Ruth at the livestock market. Ruth's concerned she should spend more time in the college making friends. Pip says they're already in groups, she doesn't have anything in common with them, and she wishes she could get straight down to hands-on farming.

It's time for Peggy to leave Jack at The Laurels. Jennifer reminds her to try to keep the farewell low key. Peggy gently tells Jack that he's at a nice hotel and he needs to stay and look after it. When Peggy hugs Jack to say goodbye he becomes distressed. Jennifer assures Peggy she's doing the right thing, Jack will settle down in time.

Will tells Brian that Ed's been poaching Estate birds, only to discover that Brian offered them to Ed as a goodwill gesture. Will's angry Brian didn't inform him. Brian tells Will to focus on finding the fox he keeps going on about instead of bellyaching about Ed all the time.

Peggy's relieved when Mrs Dawson rings to say that Jack's settled down now. She advises them to wait a few days before visiting. Brian remarks to Jennifer how amazing Peggy is, coping with Jack at home for so long.
