Annabelle's impressed by Lilian's expert knowledge on washing systems and roofs. Brian just sees it as a headache, having to go back to the architect for alterations. He's also convinced Matt and Lilian are getting inside information and believes it's one of two people - either Andrew Smith or Barbara Gladstone. It's quite useful tapping into Matt's know-how now and then though, so he just wants to nip things in the bud and warn Matt off by letting him know they know. As he doesn't rate Lilian's suggestion for the site manager job, he'll let it slip that he's already chosen who he wants and will feed each of his suspects a different name. Then if either name comes back through Lilian, they'll know who's been talking to Matt.

Pip's got her exam re-sit results. She's done really well, and David congratulates her.

Alistair takes samples from the sick cow. He can't say for sure until the test results are back early next week, but there's a chance this could be an indicator case for Johne's disease in the herd. He hopes he's wrong, so doesn't want David and Ruth to worry till they've got something to worry about.
