The stress rises for Philip and Brian makes an intervention.

Jennifer worries that Adam needs to get more sleep but he insists he has too much to do. Brian pesters him about drilling spring barley which every other farmer in Borsetshire has already started doing. Adam explains they need to hold off until it’s drier. Jennifer and Brian discuss the best approach with Adam – Jennifer’s worried he’s missing out on precious time with Xander and Brian thinks they won’t be able to sell their barley if it matures too late. They agree Adam’s not in the right place to receive their advice.

Brian calls in on Roy after Phoebe relayed her concerns about him. Roy has been acting out of sorts since his head injury in the Grey Gables explosion. Brian persuades Roy to get checked out by a doctor and offers him a lift to hospital.

While repairing the llama shelter, Philip tells Gavin about his phone call with Moira from the Grey Gables’ insurers. He answered her questions but is concerned she’ll want to know more about their building business. Philip reprimands Gavin for not feeding Blake, which resulted in him using the grill, so causing the explosion. He also comes down hard on him when Gavin calls Lynda an “old bag”. She’s a real person, in pain. They’ve got to be careful about how they word things. When Gavin uses the word “slaves” Philip warns that he could get them both sent down.
