At Home Farm Stella and Ruth have their presentation on the history of women and the plough all ready to go, when Brian arrives and compliments them on their vintage hairstyles and outfits. Stella then gives Ruth a corn dolly for luck in her ploughing match. But first they give their presentation, which gets a good reception and Brian says went down well. He鈥檚 delighted too with all the compliments he鈥檚 been getting for putting the event on, overcoming his initial reservations about agreeing to do it.

David awaits his flu jab at the surgery with trepidation, while Neil is in denial about having an issue with stress. They try to deflect with chat about ploughing, but end up being honest with each other about David鈥檚 fear of needles and Neil鈥檚 struggle to cope with everything that鈥檚 been going on with George recently. Later, David compliments Ben on how good he was putting David at ease for his jab. Azra was complimentary about Ben鈥檚 first day too.

During Neil鈥檚 appointment Azra tells him that his blood pressure is up and suggests ways he can help bring his stress levels down. These include sharing with others how he鈥檚 feeling, rather than keeping it to himself.

At the end of the Home Farm ploughing match Stella praises both traditional methods and modern, more environmentally aware approaches to farming the land. Ruth is presented with her trophy for winning the whole event, while Neil is awarded the Ladies Cup as runner-up. He鈥檚 happy to accept the title in tribute to the strength, skill and resilience shown by women like Ruth.
