David's still trying to win Ruth over. There's an opportunity now to think everything through from scratch. And there's no way he can do that without her. Ruth observes it's a bit late to be asking her opinion. She announces she's going to her mum's at the weekend. She leaves a message for Usha; she could really do with a chat.

Ed asks Charlie if he can give notice on his rented land, but he's missed the notice deadline. He'll have to pay for nearly two more years. Ed asks if there's a way round it. Later Charlie suggests that if Ed keeps the Estate's hedges trimmed throughout the notice period, that should cover it. Grateful Ed agrees. As to the future, Ed says he'll be looking for more contract work. Charlie promises to keep him in mind.

Rob reacts badly to the news that Helen will no longer inherit the Lodge. Peggy's estate will be divided between Tony, Jennifer and Lilian. Rob believes this threatens Helen's future security. Peggy challenges this. As her future husband, surely Rob is Helen's security. Rob has no answer to this.

Rob thinks that Tom is behind Peggy's change of heart. Helen disagrees. She says it doesn't matter anyway; it'll all be OK. With him to take care of her, how could it be anything else?
