George reluctantly helps Ed use a tub of offal designed to attract and kill flies and prevent fly strike. Ed reckons with a healthy flock they can do well at agricultural shows this Summer. Emma mentions covering Fallon at the tea room so Fallon can work the hen party, and raves about George’s latest video of the discovered kittens. Ed gets an urgent call from Stella – a tree has fallen across a lane, blocking a combine – they need to get the barley in before the weather turns. Ed, Emma and George spring into action. They make a great team and Ed passes on a cash tip from grateful Brian to George, but George seems reluctant to accept it. Emma admits she can’t keep up with George’s moods lately. Ed and Emma are happy about work picking up - and today won’t have hurt. The best thing is they’re working as a family. Paul tells Denise all about the pig snout incident and she agrees Vince needs to act for Freddie. Paul’s disappointed when Denise turns down his offer of a night out on Friday, and he confides in Alistair that his Mum isn’t being open with him. Alistair offers advice and Paul’s pleased Denise has Alistair to confide in. Alistair feels awkward and tells Denise about their conversation. Enough is enough, says Denise – she needs to tell Paul about them. As Alistair comforts upset Denise, Paul comes in having overheard them. He knows what’s going on. He feels sick and runs away. Denise is left sobbing and wondering what she is going to do.
