David's looking forward to the move to Hadley Haugh, but admits to Oliver it will take a while to make the new farm their own. The move has got Oliver excited about farming again, too. Oliver mentions the hunt on Wednesday. He'll avoid Brookfield land, especially as lambing has just started. They also discuss Robert and Jim's birdwatching rivalry.

Excited Pip is trying to persuade David to part with £100,000 for a top-of-the-range new tractor. David tries to steer Pip's interest towards the past - open-air dairying. He points to their own family history and invites Pip to look through some archives with him.

Donning his 1940s suit, Joe is confidently practicing his foxtrot in the living room, keen to give Bert a run for his money.

Ed brings his granddad down to earth with the shock news that he's getting out of dairy for good. Ed hopes that the money from selling his herd will enable him to buy a tractor for contracting work. Oliver's shocked but understands. Ed hopes his cows will be deemed healthy and sellable.

Joe reflects on his life at Grange Farm and thanks Ed for restoring his pride by working there himself. Nobody can take this land away from Joe's heart. Telling Ed to not be down on himself, Joe points out that nothing lasts forever.
