Brookfield's bustling as the day begins. Pip's stressed. She's only sold forty two tickets for the YFC ball. David's thinking about Bert's ploughing match, and Emma asks for a word later.

Pip returns from college with the good news that she's sold more tickets. David's happy Bert won his class, and Emma breaks her pregnancy news. Ruth's really pleased for her.

Mike's surprised Ed's bill for the calves is so low. Ed apologises for not itemising it. Vicky turns up to say goodbye to the calves. They only fetch £100 each. Mike shows Vicky the bill from Ed, which he's itemised himself. Vicky asks Mike to give Ed the cheque. One thing she's learned from this is that she never wants to see another calf ever again. Mike gives Ed a little extra on top of the cheque, for his hard work and trouble.

Susan's overjoyed at Emma's baby news, but crestfallen when she finds out Clarrie knew first. Emma talks her round and she's soon relishing the prospect of a Spring baby. Ed and Emma agree it will be harder telling Will. Ed recommends they shouldn't worry about it. He'll find out soon enough.
