Johnny loses his cool, and Josh attempts to secure his future.

At Brookfield Josh is working flat out to make up for the time he spent away from his business covering Pip's maternity leave. Pip's furious to hear that he's cancelled a family meeting to discuss the harvest. The only time that suits him clashes with registering Rosie's birth. Seeing how important the meeting is to Pip, Toby offers to reschedule the register office.

Rex is surprised to hear that Robin offered Toby the Fairbrother engagement ring - it was supposed to come to him. Toby thinks it was all nonsense - he and Pip are just fine as co-parents and friends.

At Bridge Farm Freddie finds Johnny on a tractor. He's already called the landline to pass on his new number, and doesn't know why Johnny hasn't been in touch. Freddie assumes he's annoyed about cancelling their trip. Johnny doesn't care about that - Freddie was arrested for dealing! Freddie reminds him he was happy to take ecstasy at the Isle of Wight festival, but Johnny thinks there's a big difference. Johnny points out that he defended Freddie from Ellis, and got hit by a brick as a result. Now it turns out they were in it together. As far as Johnny's concerned they're no longer mates - Freddie can forget about him coming to the Magistrate's on Thursday. He's on his own.
