George is poorly, but looking forward to playing a Wise Man in the school nativity - Keira's only a snowflake. Tilly Button is playing Mary (perfect casting as Alan sees Mary as a bit of a rebel). Emma reflects that she's been living at her mum and dad's with Ed for 2 years. Clarrie encourages Emma to speak to Will about renting them 1 The Green, which is lying empty.

David breaks it to Brian that he's selling Brookfield to Justin Elliot's company, so there's no need for the telephone auction. Shocked, Brian admits he'll never get a better opportunity to expand Home Farm in his lifetime. But he understands, staggered to learn the price Justin has offered.

Jennifer's worried about Tony. Brian reassures her Tony's a stubborn cuss and won't give up. Jennifer's furious to learn about Brookfield - David has betrayed his community, but Brian's more concerned about Home Farm. Jennifer knows Adam will be devastated - they had big plans. They may have to let staff go. Adam's annoyed with Charlie, who clearly knew about the sale and didn't say anything over lunch. Adam vows to show those Brookfield Archers what solidarity really means.
