Summary
Pat and Tony are admiring their garden at Bridge Farm. Whilst joking over Tony’s award, Pat says Tony has to break the news on their decision to Tom and Helen. Helen arrives early asking if she can check the attic for Jack’s old baby clothes. Pat connects the dots and asks if Kirsty is pregnant. Flustered Helen admits it. Later, to Tom’s surprise, Tony tells Helen and Tom that they’ve decided to go with the climate-controlled greenhouse. Whilst Tom goes to grab his laptop from the car to show Helen his pitch, Pat tells Helen that she’ll have the baby clothes washed ready for Kirsty. Tom reappears quicker than expected and overhears that Kirsty is pregnant and decides to go finish the watering straight away. Helen finds Tom and ask’s if he’s doing alright. Tom insists he’s fine and that this is great for Kirsty.
The Aldridges receive the same text from Brian telling them they will be paid £7000 each for the seed drill. Kate, Alice and Adam debate whether this is a peace offering or a victory, but all think Brian is finally doing the right thing. Alice finds it a bit cold. Kate decides to text back a thank you and floats the idea of a family meal. At Honeysuckle cottage whilst the roast beef is sitting, Adam proposes he and Ian start on the wine to celebrate. Ian tries to hold his tongue, but thinks Brian owes Adam more for all the work he has put in. But Adam thinks they should now move on.
