Fallon has a brainwave, and Rob feels enlightened.

Fallon updates Jazzer on an eccentric client whose wedding she is covering with Emma next week. Fallon also feels inspired by an idea for her tearoom â€" serving quality brunch promotions, with food supplied by Tom. There's a little tension between Tom and Rob at the Bridge Farm shop over stock ordering. Rob picks Tom up on his apparent openness to including non-organic produce â€" if Rob had known, perhaps he and Helen would have taken on some Fairbrother geese before last Christmas. Tom talks about being responsive to customers and light on their feet. Rob diplomatically, perhaps sarcastically, thanks Tom for enlightening him about the change of strategy.

Brian fills David in on the latest from Berrow farm and its closing and selling off. Brian admires David's bravery as he starts to understand more about Brookfield's plan to move into grass based Spring calving.
Ruth and David discuss Bert, who seems eager to move back into his bungalow as it's nearly ready. It will be strange without Freda of course. Ruth tells David to stop worrying about Brookfield, reassuring him that the system they're adopting has worked well in other countries. David's keen to show Brian that he and Ruth are definitely doing the right thing at Brookfield.
