Helen is intrigued by a new notion, and relations defrost for Rex.

Natasha helps Helen pack clothes ahead of moving to 5 The Green. Henry鈥檚 become very organised, labelling all his boxes, whilst Jack is less helpful. They talk about the dairy and Helen鈥檚 excitement over expanding her herd. Natasha confesses she鈥檚 almost jealous of Helen鈥檚 enthusiasm.
Driving to Shropshire, Tom points out the irony of using the money from selling retired Tony鈥檚 Anguses to buy Montey鈥檚 from another retired farmer. Helen points out how they鈥檙e saving money by not having to bring them over from France. They then admire the cows in the field and Helen tries to persuade Tom to buy the full herd of ten. Tom points out their mobile dairy would struggle to handle the extra cows and Helen reluctantly agrees to only buy the six they came for.
Later, while chatting over a cup of tea, enthusiastic Natasha confesses she has a new business idea for Bridge Farm, to branch out into Botanicals and organic skincare. It could finance sending the twins to private school. Helen tells her to go for it, if that鈥檚 what they want to do.
When Rex catches Alice at The Stables, they agree neither wants to break up. Rex then apologises for what he said to Brian. Alice doesn鈥檛 know the specifics, so Rex tells her everything. Recalling their fight on Sunday, Alice says she鈥檚 inherited the Aldridge habit of lashing out. Rex admits to his own flaws and they agree to put it behind them, before Rex reveals his dad texted him, asking to meet Alice. Would she be up for that?
