Summary
Adam tells Ruairi they need to do something about Brian before Home Farm goes to the dogs. Ruairi disagrees, but Adam suspects Ruairi and Brian are hiding something and pushes emotional Ruairi to tell him what it is. Adam’s stunned when he hears Ruairi attacked George and Brian’s taken the blame. Ruairi makes Adam promise not to tell Brian he knows, before breaking down and then storming out. When Ben sees Ruairi rush past, upset, he walks with him to the Am, where Ruairi opens up partially, confessing that he’s struggling to deal with something he’s done. Ruairi then admits he’s started talking to his dead mum and really wishes she was there. Ben’s worried about Ruairi and suggests he needs to find a way to live with whatever it is he’s done, like doing something to make amends. Ruairi agrees, he has to try to make it right.
Azra worries to Akram that she needs to put something concrete in place for her Mental Health initiative. She outlines possible reasons why she thinks people in rural areas have difficulty opening up about their mental health, before Akram goes to see Tom and proposes setting up a care farm at Bridge Farm. Tom agrees it could benefit the local community, but thinks they might be too stretched to do it. Nevertheless, he’ll talk to the family and get back to Akram, who then reports this back to Azra with a positive spin. She thinks it sounds fantastic, but then accidentally lets Fletcher fly out of the window.
