The stress rises for Helen, while Tom attempts a negotiation.

Jazzer tells Tom that Berrow Farm has "as good as" offered him a job. It'd be a wrench to leave the Bridge Farm pigs, but he's seriously considering it. Tom tries to persuade him to stay by offering a pay rise, which Jazzer haggles over and guarantees he won't have to take on more responsibilities).

Later, Neil breaks the news to Jazzer that Berrow won't be offering him a job. He tried to soften the blow by promising to keep his CV on file. Jazzer cheerfully tells him to bin it. The prospect of the job has already got him what he really wanted.

Olwen disapproves of Bridge Farm selling land for development. But she apologises for lecturing Pat. She's sure Pat didn't intend to stray so far from her principles. Helen's fed up with Olwen treating Bridge Farm like a hotel. Pat protests that Olwen's been ill, and that she does do the washing up. Helen's thrown herself into preparing for Sheila Dillon's visit on Thursday. She doesn't trust Olwen not to hijack the whole event. Pat chides her for being so intolerant - Olwen's had a hard time. She promises to try to be more generous - but Olwen must be kept out of the way tomorrow.
