Rob means what he says - and who is that coming for lunch?

Shula's feeling behind schedule and flustered, as Richard arrives promptly for lunch.
In the yard, Joe offers to take any flood damaged vaccines off Alistair's hands - Bartleby has a tetanus booster due. Alistair can't help.

Joe's surprised to see Dr Locke, who Alistair greets warmly. The two men discuss Dan. Alistair mentions he's still involved in cricket. Dan arrives home from watching banger racing and tells Richard all about his Sandhurst training.

Later, Richard talks more privately to Alistair - he knows it wasn't plain sailing for Alistair and Shula, getting together. But considering what they've achieved with Dan, Alistair must be pleased with how his life has turned out.

Ed's keen to get all his fencing finished, as he looks to running beef cattle. Rob's impressed by the new tractor - Ed's pleased to have something that can handle a large trailer.

Rob talks to Ed about his ditch clearing work - driving home the hint that Ed should keep his mouth closed about anything he sees that he doesn't understand. Ed uncomfortably agrees.

Joe gossips to Ed about Richard and Alistair's past rivalry over Shula. Joe also presses Ed on whether he has asked Will to be his best man yet.

Ed shares with Joe his unsettling conversation with Rob. Joe agrees that Ed should forget about anything he sees on the Estate - he has a wedding to think about.
