Brian and Rob enjoy the morning shooting at the end of season 'estate day'. Will hopes they've left some pheasants for him and his fellow gamekeepers to shoot later.

Ed helps Joe to stack logs on Bartleby's cart, ready for Joe to sell. Ed tells Joe about the sheep-shearing course he'd like to do. Joe agrees with David's suggestion that Ed should apply for a grant. He should never be afraid to ask for help.
Ed takes Joe's advice and applies to the RABI charity. He'll hear back in a couple of weeks. Ed jokes that they'd have been quids in if Bob Pullen had left them a fortune. Joe tells Ed that all he got was a lucky key ring. Ed reckons his luck may be starting to change. Joe drinks to that.
