Brian continues to scheme, and Will faces a new problem.

Will's determined to make Greenwood cottage as homely as possible for Jake's return. He and Eddie build Jake a desk to go in his bedroom. But, when Clarrie persuades him to look at his post, Will receives a shock. Martyn Gibson has written to inform him that he'll either have to return to work full-time, or give up the cottage. Having heard the same thing from Martyn in person Will appeals to Brian. Brian confirms that Martyn's now the BL chair - officially he can do what he likes. When Will returns to Greenwood he lies to Clarrie and Eddie, claiming that Martyn has changed his mind. Eddie's very proud of Will's powers of persuasion.

Back at Home Farm Brian vows to fight for Will - he'll lobby Justin and Annabelle. Jennifer's also worried about Adam - she can see that the failure of the embryo transfer has hit him hard. Jennifer tries to help him think more positively, but she's very upset herself. Brian tries to reassure her that Adam and Ian are very determined - they'll find a way to have a child. Brian is interrupted by a phone call from Doug, the man he has been trying to reach for days. Doug makes a lower offer than Brian had hoped for the land, but he accepts for the good of the farm.
