Elizabeth and Shula face Jill, and Helen defends her man.
Elizabeth and Shula wonder whether Jill really wants to leave Brookfield - however, she always did support the child in the most need - in the case, David. Jill's rather taken aback to learn that all the siblings want to cash in - and keen not to have to referee any family feuds. Jill remembers Phil's wish to keep Brookfield part of the family. However, Shula points out that once Brookfield's gone things change for all of them. Jill also reports from Ruth that Heather's much better.
Helen's feeling the pressure at work - Tom tells her to look after herself. The doctors want to get a stronger antibiotic into Tony as soon as possible. Helen's had an unexpected text from Kirsty, saying she's thinking of them.
Peggy tells Jill she has to stay strong, for Tony's sake. She also understands David and Ruth's decision to sell to Justin Elliot - Brian would have sold to the highest bidder as well. Peggy admits her regret at leaving Tony out of her will, and feels the accident is her fault as Tony bought the cows to prove something to her. Jill tells Tom she fears Peggy is near breaking point.
Tom's surprised to see a lorry delivery of stock feed - clearly ordered by Rob. Tom doesn't have time to be annoyed, but points out that he'll take charge of the orders from now on.
