Whilst stacking bales, George mentions that Tilly’s coming to see the stray kittens. Ben wonders if that’s like when she was ‘definitely’ coming to see George haymaking. Presumably that’s why he’s topless again? Ben and Neil continue to tease George and when Neil tells him to cover up his sunburned body, George admits his back’s too sore for that. Chat turns to the Winkley Music Festival this weekend - Paul, Lily, Freddie and Josh are going as well as Tilly and Aiden. When George wonders what the big deal is, Ben points out that in Josh’s case, the Straw Crows are playing, and he’s still very much into band-member Nina.

Neil and Ben relax with some beer, but George is paranoid when he discovers he’s got a fruit cider rather than a beer. He angrily heads off, leaving Neil and Ben to wonder what that was all about.

Stella nervously waits to share her pitch with the Borchester Land board, boosted by a good luck call from Pip. Afterwards frustrated Stella reckons the board think that it’s just a green-washing exercise, but Justin points out she did leave with an agreement for her ecological survey of BL land. Stella’s persuaded to go for post drinks with the board; sometimes more work gets done at after-meeting drinks than in the meeting itself. After, Stella heads home to bed, too tired to have a take-away with Pip. Stella admits that whilst it went ok, she feels like she’s sold her soul to the devil. Pip says goodnight and Stella’s left doubting herself.
