Johnny is out to impress, and Toby has a brainwave.

Johnny is learning from David about the practices of rolling the seedbed. They take a break with homemade gingerbread. David says farming is part of you - but it can also be chaotic. Johnny likes that about farming, and he is keen to learn even more. David says if Johnny carries on like this, he will secure a job with Tom and Tony. Later, Johnny and Ruth discuss the new herd. David rings to say there's been trouble at Hollowtree. Ruth says this is a farmer's lot: one minute all is well and the next, everything is falling apart.
Rex buys tons of Easter eggs for him and Toby. He is excited because the pastured hens are arriving tomorrow! They talk about the egg-mobile, which is now ready. Rex tries to stop Toby bothering him about Pip, who is in Cumbria with Matthew. Then they smell burning... They get out of the truck to find the egg-mobile is on fire! Toby is distraught, while Rex calls the fire brigade. Toby has a lightbulb moment - rather than delay the hens' arrival and the launch of their business, they could use their caravan! Rex and David are sceptical but Toby is determined.
