Pat hears some alarming news, and Freddie sees something he shouldn't.
Tony and Pat speculate on Rob's relationship with his family. Pat feels they should make an effort for Rob's parents Bruce and Ursula next Friday.
Shula thinks Alistair is to blame for the strangles, but he insists it wasn't him who left the gate open. Elizabeth shows Shula the setup for Loxfest. Elizabeth's reminded of Nigel, but confides in Shula that she has been thinking about when is the right moment to move on. Shula tells Elizabeth that Nigel just wanted her to be happy. She shouldn't feel guilty.
Elizabeth apologises to Roy for being standoffish. They hug and are seen by Freddie, who runs away.
Susan thought Charlie's interview in the Echo was well argued. Pat obviously disagrees.
Susan's unhappy with Neil for doing so much work for Bridge Farm. Tony needs to recognise that Neil is doing a manager's job, but Neil's evading the issue.
The bull Tony wanted was sold, so he has bought a bigger, more expensive one.
Susan complains to Pat that they're taking advantage of Neil. And when Susan learns that Tony can afford £3000 for a bull, she points out they can afford to pay Neil a decent wage. Neil is mortified that Susan has interfered - how can he look Tony in the face now?
