As the Bridge Farm Archers remember John, Tom offers brotherly love.

Tony helps Johnny out with some last-minute revision before his Level 2 farming exam. Later, Johnny returns having passed, so it's onwards and upwards to Level 3!
Tom minds the shop alone because Rob, Helen and Henry have had another disturbed night. Pat tells Tom that Helen and Kirsty have seemingly patched things up. Although, Helen didn't return Kirsty's call on Sunday. They wonder if Ursula forgot to pass on the message. Rob apologises, telling Tom that Henry has been boisterous with fragile, pregnant Helen. Rob also reports that Henry is feeling neglected because of the new baby.
Pat cooks a roast for the family to mark Tom's birthday. Helen says Ursula has been a huge help, but she does wish she would stop hyping Henry up on chocolate. Rob turns up with the scan photo, pointing out that Helen forgot to bring it. Pat is surprised that, after the pre-eclampsia, Helen has decided to give birth at home. Rob says they talked it through and this is their decision. During the meal, Helen starts sobbing and rushes out. Rob says he will follow her but Tom insists that he goes instead. They talk about John - it is eighteen years since he died. Tom tells Helen that if she ever needs to talk, he is here.
