Challenging times for Brian. Meanwhile, Chris takes on a major role.

Brian is preoccupied. The crucial BL board meeting is this morning and he's sure it will be difficult. Will has found a feed supplier he thinks might be cheaper. Brian abruptly tells him to just go ahead.

At the meeting, Gerry Moreton angles to take over as Chair. Brian thinks his track record will speak for itself. But Justin Elliot points to lost opportunities with the market and the dairy, and Annabelle agrees.

Brian's reign is at an end, as the new chair of Borchester Land is announced. It's Annabelle! Brian is rueful and Gerry very miffed. Smooth Justin hopes that Brian will stay on the board. Brian stiffly remarks that he'll need time to consider his position. Justin invites him to inform Annabelle of his decision when he's ready.

Chris follows Will on his rounds, observing him kill a squirrel. Will convinces Chris to play the part of Jesus in the Passion Play.

Back at home, Jennifer comforts Brian. He reveals he will stay on the board. They need a farming voice. But if people thought BL was a difficult neighbour before, they ain't seen nothing yet.
