Eddie needs to find more work, and Kirsty is a pillar of support.

Eddie fixes a variable cowl to Lynda's shepherd's hut. He recounts how upset the Bridge Farm Archers were when they returned from court and that Helen was called a doctor because she looked like she was going to pass out. Lynda recognises her chimney trouble is trivial in comparison. Eddie asks Lynda if she has any more jobs that need doing as things are a bit tight for him at the moment. Lynda says she does need some paving near the hut and a path to the Resurgam stone. When Eddie asks for money for materials, Lynda says they'll go to the builder's yard together and she'll pay directly.
Justin apologies to Lilian for Miranda giving her orders earlier in the week. He says Miranda has more patience with horses than people. Over lunch Justin tells Lilian about Eddie's attempt to sell him and Miranda items from the Horrobin box Lilian had offloaded on him. Lilian asks if Miranda will be in Ambridge more now she has seen the Dower House. Justin says she has her own horses stabled in London where she also has a very busy social life so, it looks like he'll be in Ambridge on his own most of the time.
Kirsty finds an exhausted Tom trying to fix a water trough. She insists he takes a break, he needs to pace himself. Kirsty tells him Helen's bail refusal is in the past and what matters now is to stay strong for Helen to help her get her future back.
