Summary

Outside The Bull, Jolene invites Fallon to drop in if she’s free for a coffee. Fallon and Harrison step on each other’s toes as they make breakfast. Harrison becomes distracted when a lead on Home Farm’s sheep attack comes in and rushes off.

Over breakfast with Kirsty, Kate brings up her proposal for moving Spiritual Home to Rewilding Ambridge. A message from Tom asking to talk interrupts Kate’s pitch. Kirsty is still uncertain of the baby moving, but Kate promises soon they’ll be kicking her in the ribs. At Rewilding, Kirsty tries to persuade Rex to be the one to reject Kate’s plan. Tom turns up and apologies. He is really pleased for Kirsty and thinks she’ll be a wonderful mother. Kirsty says she’s living on hope with this baby. Kate turns up and Rex is left to tell her the bad news for Kirsty.

Lynda is on Village Fete duty, and Jolene agrees to run the beer tent again. Fallon swings by for that coffee, and Lynda asks when Fallon is free for fete matters. Fallon suggests this afternoon which delights Lynda. Jolene states she must be bored without Harrison to be spending a Friday afternoon on the village fete. Lynda asks how Harrison is settling back in, stating from experience that it’s not always a smooth process. Harrison arrives to speak to Lynda on official business. The DNA from the sheep attack has come back and reveals it was a Doberman. Lynda’s Monty is the only Doberman in the village. Lynda insists there’s no way it could be Monty.
