Challenging times at Bridge Farm, and Rob speaks his mind.

Jill's rather smitten with the baby hoglets she discovered but David says they're ready to get used to the wild again. David warns Jill not to get too attached. He also mentions he's helping Adam with the maize. New manager Charlie is certainly keeping the workers on their toes.

David has thinking about the plan for a new road and wonders whether Brian knows anything - he has been rather 'fishy' about it..

Tony, Pat and Helen are stressed and struggling to keep the business running in Tom's absence. Wired Tony wants Tom back to sort out the mess he's dumped them in. How could he do this to them? They're particularly worried about their organic status following the inspection. Helen's worried about the financial implication but also their brand reputation.

Rob hates seeing Helen so stressed and overworked. Helen's conflicted as she debates the issues the family faces. But Rob thinks this could actually be an opportunity for Bridge Farm. Helen starts to waver as persuasive Rob questions the value in clinging on to ideals. Encouraging Helen to stop worrying, Rob tells her he'll be right here to support her.
