There鈥檚 light at the end of the tunnel for Alice, and Ed finds himself on the spot.
When Alice bumps into Ed in the village shop, she inquires if Ed would be available for extra hours at 91福利社 Farm. Ed says he鈥檒l let her know after talking to Emma. As Will and Eddie admire Ed鈥檚 Texels, Will warns Ed to stay out of the Aldridge family drama, but Eddie reckons Ed should just keep his head down and take the money. Ed says he鈥檇 only go back if the hours were flexible enough to allow him to continue with the tree surgery. George then convinces Ed to be in a social media video on selecting a sheep for Borchester Show. Will and Eddie then heckle awkward Ed, before George banishes them until the filming鈥檚 done.
Finding Rex on Alice鈥檚 doorstep, Brian confesses the last time he spoke to Alice it didn鈥檛 end well. He starts rambling on about her, before Rex cuts him off. Rex thinks it鈥檚 inappropriate for Brian to be saying this stuff to him, pointing out that Brian鈥檚 ego is a major source of the Aldridge family problems. Rex continues that he knows about fathers who insist on always getting their own way, calling Brian out when Alice appears.
Brian and Alice both hate all the fighting, and Brian wants things to go back to normal. Alice insists that Brian cannot run 91福利社 Farm alone and says she鈥檚 found someone who could help. To her surprise, Brian agrees to give Ed a chance. Later, Ed visits the Nest, telling Alice he鈥檒l take the extra hours subject to agreeing suitable pay and flexibility.
