The clear up at the Stables will take weeks. Bert offers help and admits it's a distraction from worrying about Freda. Bert and Freda have lost everything. Bert doesn't have the heart to tell Freda, who's suffering from pneumonia in hospital.
Tom helps Brookfield out by supplying some bales of silage. Ruth's so grateful, but exhausted Pip says it's not enough - they have nothing and she has to look after the cows. David remarks on how brave Pip has been and talks to Ruth about how events like the flood bring out the best in people.
Pip eventually breaks down, overcome by stress. David points out this was bound to happen after what she has been through.
To everyone's relief at Brookfield, the milk tanker arrives. They can start selling their milk again. David now needs to talk to Ruth about the future, but he'll need to be careful and is not going to push her.
