Is reconciliation on the cards for Ruth, and Usha attempts a difficult negotiation.

Pip and David discuss AI in farming, which they think can鈥檛 be ignored. Pip tells David that Stella鈥檚 mum is still coming to the wedding but won鈥檛 be walking Stella down the aisle. David offers his services instead of Stella鈥檚 mum. The weather forecast still isn鈥檛 good for the wedding and Josh messages to say he won鈥檛 be back from Patagonia in time.

Ruth wonders to David and Pip if Azra will keep up the hostilities forever, after a frosty meeting in the shop. David encourages Ruth not to give up, and to take Azra for lunch, which she does. Ruth apologizes again for showing Khalil the photos of the sheep. Although Azra is still annoyed with Ruth, she misses her friend and remembers how welcome Ruth made her feel when she first came to Ambridge. Reunited, they discuss the upcoming wedding.

Ruth asks Usha about Anna鈥檚 whereabouts, as she called round to Carol鈥檚 cottage over the weekend and Anna didn鈥檛 answer. Usha is keen to speak to Anna. Anna is still very angry with Alan, but agrees to a visit from Usha. Alan returning the money won鈥檛 be enough for Anna. Every time she tries to convince herself that Alan isn鈥檛 a bad person, the facts keep crashing back. Anna can鈥檛 believe that in her final days, Carol was betrayed by Alan. Anna鈥檚 stunned that Alan would have got involved in Carol鈥檚 banking when she鈥檇 specifically asked him not to. Usha defends Alan and says he鈥檚 not trying to hide anything. Later, Usha tells Ruth that the funeral upset was just a misunderstanding between Anna and Alan.
