Kathy faces the truth, and the prodigal daughter returns.

Pip's finally home, and rushes into her Mum's arms. Ruth encourages emotional Pip to go and find her Dad - there's nothing to be nervous about. Pip finds David tending to Edana the heifer. Josh has been doing well with her, but David says he could use Pip's expertise if they're to stand any chance at the Royal Welsh. David invites Pip to come and help out at the show, and she's pleased.

Jamie convinces Kathy to come to Jaxx and take an interest in what Kenton's doing. They can all eat together in the bar. Kathy and Jamie arrive to find Kenton laughing and joking with Kirsty. But Kenton becomes more sober when he sees Kathy. Still, he makes an effort and offers Kathy a guided tour.

Later at Bridge Farm, Kathy and Pat have a catch up. Kathy admits that she was wrong not letting Kenton come to the cricket ground on Sunday. She also opens up about her troubling visit to Jaxx with Jamie. She noticed how happy Kenton seems in his own setting and realises that they have grown so far apart.
