Ruth feels torn, and there is no going back for Adam.
As the pickers work, Jennifer's looking forward to the Borchester Street Market tomorrow. Phoebe and Alex seemed all loved up again. Adam has no idea about what happened, but notices that Phoebe's still hardly talking to Kate.
Usha shows Charlie the Echo, featuring the SAVE campaign and caption: 'Ambridge Perseverance Rewarded'. Ruth opens up to Usha about looking after her mum Heather. Ruth feels out of the loop with David and Pip and the management of Brookfield.
Brian's keen to chat to Brian before Charlie gets to him. But he's too late. Brian's aghast to learn from Charlie about Adam's announcement - this year's maize harvest is going to be their last for Charlie/ the Estate. Brian reminds Adam that he owns the land - Adam should give that some serious thought.
Adam thinks about this and comes back to Brian with an ultimatum - if the contract stays then Adam walks. He's prepared to find work elsewhere.
