Brian visits Ruth at Brookfield to talk about her resignation from being Ruairi's attorney. After finding herself in such an impossible position over the last few weeks, Ruth wants to make sure it won't happen again. Brian gives her his word. She agrees to continue for the moment, and Brian thanks her sincerely.

At Hollowtree Robin can't understand the attraction of Rex's pig business - surely it's just a load of smelly sheds and mud? He's even less impressed to discover that Rex doesn't own it - he's technically working for Neil, with the option to buy later on. Robin comes to the conclusion that Anisha is the only good thing that's happened to Rex in Ambridge, and Rex is evasive when Robin asks to meet her.

Robin thoroughly approves of Scruff Gin. Toby tries to defend Rex by pointing out that he must be serious about the pigs if he was prepared to break up with Anisha. Robin immediately demands an explanation from Rex - he can't understand it. But his main focus is Toby. Over dinner he complains about the name "Rosie Archer", but Toby wasn't about to argue when the Archers are just starting to accept him. Robin hints that there may be something he can do to help cement the Archers' acceptance.
