Reality hits home for the Grundys, and Helen has a moment of happiness.

Back in Ambridge, Caroline and Oliver are impressed how the village has recovered from the flood. They're pleased with business at Grey Gables, Caroline insists she doesn't miss it - Roy, Kathy and Ian are doing a tremendous job. On their arrival at Grange Farm, Oliver and Caroline are surprised to see pigs in the garden. Ed says they will move them and lay new turf. Inside, Clarrie insists they will fix the damage from the over-flowing bath. Oliver is sure the insurance will cover it.

In the mother and baby unit garden, Helen tells Kaz her parents are taking Jack out but Helen won't see her mum and she misses her a lot. While Helen starts to feed Jack, Kaz recounts seeing one of the staff members wearing an unmatched pair of shoes. This makes Helen laugh and then she realises that Jack is feeding happily for the first time. She thanks Kaz for her help but Kaz says it's Helen who should take the credit.

Oliver confirms Ed's tenancy on the Grange Farm land will continue despite the state of the house. Ed explains Eddie, Clarrie and Joe will be moving to No 1, The Green and he and Emma and the kids will live with Susan and Neil. Oliver announces they plan to sell Grange Farm and the Grundys will have three months' notice. Eddie worries what Joe will think. Clarrie says he will have to face reality, like the rest of them.
