Jazzer receives bad news and Tony finds himself the subject of criticism.
The future of Berrow pig unit weighs heavy on Neil and Hannah. Brian confronts them about spreading word that the unit may close as it seems it’s now village gossip and the Borchester Land board have got wind of it. Brian warns if the board oust him, there’ll be no hope for the unit. Back at home, Neil asks Susan if she has told anyone about Berrow being at risk of closure. Susan is offended that he’s asked and assures him that she hasn’t and she’s not a gossip. Later, Neil apologies to Susan. She reveals how hard it’s been not being able to share the worry or give Tracy a heads up that Jazzer’s job could be in danger.
Justin turns up to the first training session of Tracy’s over-65s Ambridge cricket team. He’s keen to join and has even brought his old bat. Afterwards, in The Bull, Tracy can only sing Justin’s praises – good with a cricket bat and first to the bar, what’s not to like? Tony is put out by this favouritism and mentions Berrow. He quickly realises Jazzer and Tracy are unaware of the rumours and has to come clean that Justin plans to close Berrow down. Tracy confronts Justin who won’t be drawn on the subject. He then confirms it is an option being considered by the BL board. Tracy sacks Justin from the cricket team and Jazzer wonders what he will do without his job at Berrow?
