Tom makes an impassioned plea, and David comes to the rescue.

Anna wants to know how Helen is going to plead. Helen thinks it's best to plead guilty to reduce the length of her maximum possible sentence. She can't bear the idea of being away from Henry for years and years. Anna insists if Helen acted in self-defence she must not plead guilty. Later, Anna explains to Tony that she thinks Rob has affected the way Helen thinks.
David alerts Tom and Johnny to a problem with the pigs: they've all got in together. The long grass must have shorted out the electric fence, says Tom. He has been meaning to strim the grass but he forgot all about it. After the three of them have sorted the pigs, David asks Tom about Open Farm Sunday. Could Tom contribute a cow and calf? David says Brookfield will do all the work and there's no catch. Tom is reluctant at first but then says it sounds great. David goes on to offer to cut Bridge Farm's silage. Tom is grateful and says he in return he'll send over Johnny to help with Brookfield's silaging. David accepts and then finishes off planting cabbages with Johnny so Tom can get lunch before visiting Helen.
Helen can't understand why Pat isn't visiting her. Tom and Tony say Pat's devastated not to be there but hold off telling her Pat is now a witness for the prosecution. Tom and Tony press Helen about how she will plea. Tom impresses that he knows she didn't stab Rob deliberately and she has to plead not-guilty.
