Ed attempts to keep the peace, and negotiations are made at Bridge Farm.
Tom tells Helen he鈥檚 confused as to why she鈥檚 acting as if the new milking parlour is the obvious next step for the farm. Helen insists it鈥檚 just about belief in her business, and expansion of the farm, which will benefit Tom too. She suggests they discuss it calmly rather than falling out 鈥� getting a quote isn鈥檛 the same as ordering a parlour. It鈥檚 the bare minimum needed for putting a business proposal together. Fine, says Tom, he鈥檒l work on a proposal too. Helen鈥檚 in favour 鈥� then they can each present their case to the family.
Ed discovers Keira鈥檚 found her own work experience placement at Rewilding Ambridge. Clarrie remembers when Keira helped make bat boxes as a child. Ed doesn鈥檛 recall, and Keira huffs that he was probably distracted by something George was doing at the time. Ed protests he鈥檚 always asked Keira to do things with him, but she鈥檚 often buried in her phone. George arrives and immediately winds Keira up, resulting in her storming out. Later she apologises for shouting, and for bolting at New Year. She admits she finds it hard to talk, and at New Year they were too worried about George to listen to her. Ed wishes he鈥檇 realised how much she was struggling. He reassures her, and she confides her worries about school and friendships. Ed reckons lots of her classmates will have had the same anxieties. They hug. Later Ed sets Keira and George a task to clear out a barn. They have fun, and Ed declares they鈥檝e passed his challenge.
