Tom visits Roy. Meanwhile, David and Ruth are out and about.

David and Ruth are visiting a milking parlour - David joking that it's too conventional for Pip to bother coming to see. Pip's also helping Jill retrieve boxes from the attic. David has bad news- Steve and Ros at Hadley Haugh aren't prepared to knock £140K off the asking price to help with the cost of the new slurry system.

At the parlour, David and Ruth are impressed by the setup, including a fifty-degree parlour - it's self-cleaning and labour-saving.

Tom talks to defensive Helen about the worrying state of the shop. Helen wonders whether Johnny could be dyslexic and fears antagonizing Johnny so asks Tom to speak to him.

Tom pops round to see Roy and offer support. Roy's hurt that Phoebe isn't giving him the time of day - and has seemingly forgotten about all of Kate's past behaviour. He prays that Hayley will forgive him and regrets not being completely honest with her about the affair. Tom reflects on his own bad judgement in not being upfront with Kirsty before their wedding. Tom tells Roy not to give up - things can only get better.
