Emma is concerned, and Brian tries to do the right thing.
Brian warns Jennifer off discussing work with Will when she drops round with the pie she has made him. Brian hopes that Will' take back his resignation. Brian and Jennifer also discuss Lexi, but Adam spares them the details of her injections and downregulating. Jennifer's horrified to learn of Adam being dropped from the soil group - yet another consequence of Brian flouting the law years ago.
A youth leader - Bisma - from Birmingham comes for a disastrous tour around Spiritual Home. The youth group will not be booking a retreat now. Brian offers to get Spiritual Home spiritually cleansed to make up for Kate's loss of business. Kate asks instead whether they could put up a screen. A wall, asks Brian? Yes, says Kate - but who will pay for it?
Brian offers Adam arable land to put into his herbal leys, largely to make up for Adam's knock-back over his position in the soil health group.
Emma finds the cheque Caroline bequeathed Will lying around. He had forgotten about it. Will tells Emma that neither he nor Poppy will be going to the funeral.
