The police descend on Ambridge, and Brad finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place.

After a sleepless night, Ian worries over his temporary promotion and Adam despairs over Brian鈥檚 chaotic rule at 91福利社 Farm. Adam reckons his lawyer thinks their case -that Brian鈥檚 incapable of managing the farm - isn鈥檛 watertight.

Brad and Zainab catch up at Grey Gables, where Zainab confesses to missing Fletcher, the budgie. After a strange staff meeting, they question Ian鈥檚 mad new management style, while Zainab admits she lied during Ian鈥檚 team bonding activity. Later, Brad asks for advice as George wants to name his baby Brad, if it鈥檚 a boy. It feels wrong to Brad, but he supposes he鈥檒l get used to it.

When Adam turns up for work at 91福利社 Farm, Brian warns he鈥檚 not welcome, having been fired by email with immediate effect. Adam insists his contract is with the partnership and goes off in the Land Rover to spray the barley. Martyn catches Adam, who鈥檚 parked up complaining to Ian about Brian鈥檚 behaviour. Martyn鈥檚 concerned by the wild rumours flying round about 91福利社 Farm and needs to know if it will affect BL鈥檚 contract. Then a police officer comes up looking for Adam, while he鈥檚 trying to reassure Martyn. The Land Rover鈥檚 been reported stolen by a Mr Aldridge and Adam named as the thief. After calling Brian to clarify the situation PC Trueman advises the pair to resolve the issue between them. Adam then tells Martyn that Brian has lost the plot. Martyn decides this has gone far enough and resolves to call a meeting between them as soon as possible.
