Toby has a cunning plan, and there is a problem for Kate.

Rex is feeling sick of his taxi work. Treating Rex to lunch at the Bull, Toby takes his opportunity to try to buoy Rex with a proposition. They can move Neil's pigs to Hollowtree, to be managed by Rex - it's the perfect scheme! But Rex is unconvinced.

Adam anticipates a seasonal staffing crisis and considers offering school-time contracts to local mums. Brian agrees that they'll need real imagination to survive. Brian's concerned about Kate's business. He's keen to help but wary of the planned visit of a youth group, especially as Kate has to offer a discount. Adam takes Brian to the Bull, keen to make it clear they have nothing to hide from the village. There, Brian's awkward when Adam brings Tony over. Tony reports that work has started on the housing development, as well as the good news that Helen has been nominated for the national Food and Farming Awards - they'll be sending a judging panel next month. Adam shares some good news of his own, regarding Michael Park and plans from local farmers to set up a group to promote soil health. As Tony reminds Brian of his woes at Low Mead, Brian spots the clean-up contractors, and in an attempt to sweeten them gets Toby to put their lunch on his tab.

When Kate's freelance therapists boycott Spiritual Home because of the contamination, Brian sets about calling some masseurs he finds online, only to discover that they're offering a very different type of service. He's embarrassed, but determined to make amends for the suffering he has caused his family.
