Natasha faces an uphill battle, and Henry hatches a plan for the future.

At Grange Farm, Ed and Will discuss plans for Apple Day. Various attractions and stalls are allocated to different family members, but when Emma comes in she鈥檚 less than enthusiastic 鈥 will anyone even turn up? But later she tells Clarrie she鈥檒l help out, for Poppy鈥檚 sake. Clarrie reckons they鈥檝e still got friends in the village who鈥檒l come 鈥 and believes George would be for it too.

With Fallon leaving they鈥檝e had a crisis meeting at Bridge Farm. Helen and Pat remain relatively calm, but Natasha catastrophises. She can鈥檛 believe Fallon鈥檚 making the right choice, abandoning them for a 鈥渘owhere place鈥 like the EV Charging Station. Natasha admits to feeling hurt by Fallon鈥檚 decision. Helen sympathises with her, but apart from looking for a new manager doesn鈥檛 think there鈥檚 much they can do. Finding a replacement will be hard, Natasha reckons. Worse, Fallon will be in direct competition with them. Helen thinks the Bridge Farm brand will see them through, but Natasha鈥檚 not giving up, hoping she can persuade Fallon to change her mind.

Henry is helping Pat in the goat pen and confesses he misses George. Henry still thinks George is alright, despite what he鈥檚 done. Pat reassures him, it鈥檚 not bad to think that - and she doesn鈥檛 regret writing a reference for George. Pat feels she had to put her conscience first, despite the ructions it鈥檚 caused in the family. Henry agrees with her. Pat then talks about putting a meat buck in with the nannies to produce quality goats for meat production. Henry thinks it鈥檚 a fantastic idea and definitely wants to help.
