Alistair’s struggling to fit marathon training between meeting valuers and potential buyers for his business. Jazzer isn’t helping but messing about with his shoelaces and moaning like a nicotine deprived Eeyore. Later, Hannah teases him about his chances of finishing a marathon – looks like he needs an ambulance! He snaps that she wouldn’t look so good if she’d just run three miles.

Johnny’s glad to have heard rumours that Ellis has been arrested and charged. But right now he’s worried about becoming Bridge Farm’s herd manager. Tony reassures him that they wouldn’t have offered him the job if he wasn’t up to it. Tony’s going to miss his Anguses, but he’s looking forward to having a dairy herd again. Why pay someone else for milk they can produce right here? Johnny starts to feel more confident, and suggests they look for a British Montbeliarde breeder to save transport time.

Tom and Hannah go home for “lunch”, but Johnny comes back unexpectedly. They run around frantically trying to get dressed, and wonder how on earth they’ll explain it. When Tom complains that he’ll never find his shirt in Hannah’s messy room Hannah has a brilliant idea. They stage a massive argument. Johnny tries desperately to keep the peace, and laments that everything was going so well!
