At Bridge Farm Helen’s hoping to generate some new business to start offsetting their recent losses. She’s keeping an eye on Henry too, after yesterday’s misadventure at the demonstration. Tony and Pat admit to being impressed by Henry and Khalil’s commitment to the cause, so long as it doesn’t become a habit. Pat is still up for the fight and Tony reluctantly says he won’t stop her. Henry is suitably contrite with Helen for going AWOL yesterday, thankful that she’s not too angry with him. He also mentions talking to Tony about driving the tractor.

Later, whilst planting seedlings in the polytunnel, Tony and Pat are pleasantly surprised when Helen tells them she’s spoken to the insurance company. They should get enough compensation to at least pay for a marketing campaign and potentially drum up some new business. To Pat’s delight Tony starts to feel more positive. She pushes him to have another think about Henry and the tractor. Pat and Helen then watch with bated breath, while Tony gives Henry final instructions before letting him start the tractor engine for his first test drive.

Visiting George in prison Brad notices his battle scars after a fight. George reckons he came out on top and that’s all that matters. Brad mentions the sewage spill, and fills George in on how the family are doing, before he confesses that he can’t run George’s business anymore. George is surprisingly chilled, mentioning plans for a new business venture. George then reaffirms his respect for Brad, but won’t divulge his plans just yet.
