Rob drops Henry round to Bridge Farm but he is clingy and won't let Rob go. So Pat invites Rob in for lunch. Rob confides than he's not exactly for the new AD. It just doesn't feel like farming. He clams up about last Friday, when his parents were a no-show. Tony apologises to Rob for sticking their noses in. Rob says he has Helen and Henry now. He doesn't need anyone else.

Roy's held up at work, dealing with the demands of Loxfest headliners Quaintance Smith. Hayley is angry when Roy stays on and misses Abbie's school performance.

They can't go on like this.
