Brian鈥檚 attempt at advice backfires, and Chris has reservations.
As Chris packs his and Martha鈥檚 things ahead of Harrison鈥檚 return from Yorkshire, he shares with Fallon his hopes that his flat will be ready soon. Last time he lived at Susan and Neil鈥檚, they almost sent him doolally. Hannah calls, letting Chris know that one of the farriers for the Borchester Show has been injured and will have to pull out of the pairs. Fallon suggests that Chris takes his place. Later, he worries about demonstrating his skills in front of his peers, but Fallon speculates on the real reason for his reticence 鈥� Chris lacks the sun-kissed glow of many of the farriers on social media!
At Tracy鈥檚, she and Susan are shocked to see the arrival of Bert by taxi. Thinner and unshaven, Bert insists that Clive has cared well for him, but Clive鈥檚 new job means it鈥檚 impractical now, so he鈥檚 back 鈥� and unimpressed to find his bedroom being used for laundry.
Bert is not impressed that Susan is going to a Fleetwood Mac tribute and Tracy鈥檚 working at The Bull. Nor is he happy that she鈥檚 taken on more dairy work. Treating him to a meal and a pint, Tracy takes him to work and Bert reluctantly lets Brian sit with him. Brian listens to Bert鈥檚 grumbles about his family and being made to feel a burden but reproaches him 鈥� Bert should be proud to have such hardworking, caring daughters. Put out, Bert fires back that Brian is high and mighty and has no right to interfere, considering his own family鈥檚 issues.
