Ruth and David worry. What will become of Heather?

Ruth goes to visit her Mum Heather, feeling bad for abandoning David.

Peggy and Adam discuss Jennifer. Peggy is quietly shocked about Jennifer's windfall. Jennifer is planning to show off her bookcase with John's books. In her place, Peggy would pack the books off to auction rather than display them.

Charlie is on Adam's back, getting him to carry on harvesting the maize despite difficult conditions. The mud on the roads needs clearing, so it's time to get out the road brush. Why not get Ed on board to help? Later, Charlie seems more supportive, humbly admitting he has a tendency to tell Adam how to do his job.

Carol seems to have transformed Glebe Cottage. Peggy wonders about Carol's parents and Carol's backstory away from Ambridge. Peggy also wonders whether Heather might move down from Prudhoe.

Ruth feels useless. She couldn't be a carer, even for her own mum. Heather is stubbornly independent. David and Ruth talk about options such as a purpose built flat - not a care home. They certainly can't leave Heather to her own devices in Prudhoe.
