Susan's in the dairy to help with a last minute order, but also desperate to share some gossip with Clarrie. They discuss 'very pregnant' Jess, who walked in to the shop. She and Clarrie speculate on when Jess and Rob broke up. Susan says Rob could be another Brian Aldridge. Helen almost overhears them.

Helen tells Tony about Jess, to emphasise that Jess is a troubled woman. Tony senses there's more going on. Helen hides her upset. It has nothing to do with Rob. Tony and Pat discuss it.
Pat and Tony's grandson Rich (now known as Johnny) shows up out of the blue at Bridge Farm. They're delighted to see him looking so grown up. He has used their birthday money gift to pay for his travel to come and say thanks. They wonder what he should call them. He's happy with 'gran and grandad'.

Johnny's only just off the coach, but is keen to help them guide the cattle into a crush. He tells Pat and Tony that he failed his GCSEs but is good with his hands. At least he got a B grade in Design Technology Johnny asks Pat and Tony to talk to his mum Sharon, who's enrolled him at 6th form college. He doesn't want to go.

They put Johnny up in John's bedroom. Pat says it's lovely to have him here.
