It's a time for farewells. And Rob is helping Helen to move on.

Ruth tells Jennifer that she has been to the auctioneers today - the sale of the dairy herd is in motion. It's the end of an era, just like for some local dairy farmers they know.
Jennifer reports to Shula that Phoebe has split up with Alex and it has all turned nasty.
Rob calls Jennifer to say that he and Helen can't make Charlie's leaving party tonight, as Helen is sick. Ron tells Helen it might have been awkward. Helen talks about some food ideas for the shop - lukewarm, Rob listens and says 'you know best'. Helen mentions that Kirsty thought she looked a bit peaky. Rob points out that Helen's positively blooming and starts to talk disparagingly about Kirsty.
Charlie's rather wounded by Rob's comments in an article about Berrow Farm, but can't be bothered to respond. At Charlie's leaving party, away from everyone, Charlie presses Adam on how he can let him go when he knows that Adam feels the same way he does. Adam admits that he loves Charlie - but he's a coward and can't stop him going. As Charlie goes, Adam pulls him back and asks him to stay a moment longer. They kiss passionately.
