David feels awful when he realises Ruth got up early to milk. But Ruth is actually very happy to be working.

Shula, Alistair and Dan discuss his plans to join the Army. Appalled Shula is concerned about the danger Dan might be in, but he seems unfazed. Alistair tells Dan he'd be missing out on a great experience by not going to university. But Dan is adamant that he doesn't want to be a lawyer any more. In fact, he's already been to a selection board.

David and Ruth agree to ask Jill to move in permanently - it's worked out so well for them. The question is, will Jill agree?

Alistair finds Shula out with the horses. She's devastated, and extremely worried about Dan. Alistair thinks Dan's history of juvenile arthritis might be an issue.

But when they raise it with Dan, he says he told them at the selection board, and it wasn't an issue. He tells Shula and Alistair all about the arduous procedure. He's proud that he passed. He's due at Sandhurst on Tuesday for a briefing and pre-commissioning course. Shula is shocked, but Dan tells her that he is committed to this - and he'd really like her blessing.
