Tracy’s cherry-picking at Home Farm. She chats with Adam about Bert’s clandestine party while Tracy and Jazzer were away. Talk turns to Jennifer’s love of the cherry trees. Adam’s shocked when he hears the cherries are for the chop. He confronts Brian, who says it’s unfortunate – he’s aware Adam’s put a lot of hard work into them. Adam blames Stella, thinking she has an agenda. But Brian stops him short – Stella’s reasoning is sound. When Adam mentions Jennifer’s love of the cherries, Brian’s furious. Home Farm is a business and Adam needs to apologise to Stella. He grudgingly does so.
Henry quietly dials Rob’s number. Rob’s been waiting for Henry’s call. Nervous, Henry tells him to leave his mum alone. Rob doesn’t blame Henry for protecting Helen, but points out that in the past, it should’ve been Helen protecting Henry. When Rob says he’s missed Henry and Jack, Henry wonders why Rob’s only bothering to try and see them now. He thinks Rob’s only aiming to hurt them all over again. But Rob says he was the one who got hurt. On the night of the incident, Helen was acting irrationally and trying to tear the family apart, because she didn’t want to share Henry. Henry doesn’t believe him and again tells Rob to leave them alone. Rob chooses that moment to announce he’s unwell. The most precious things to him are Jack, Henry and Helen. All he wants from Henry is the odd text – but he mustn’t tell Helen. When Henry agrees, Rob says that’s my boy.
