Debbie has an interesting proposition for Brian, and Tony struggles to see a way through.

Jennifer thinks Alice and Chris are taking their economising too seriously, whilst Brian finds it commendable and Debbie also admires their ambition to buy Ronnie's business.

Tony takes Peggy to visit Jack in the hospital. He's making progress but Peggy worries that Jack's going to need more care than The Laurels can provide. Tony's sure The Laurels has the necessary staff to look after Jack.

Tony confides in Peggy. He hopes dairy sales will pick up soon and thereby improve their cash flow, as the income he hoped for has not yet materialised. Peggy is preoccupied and suggests that she should go in to see Jack alone, as Jack gets unsettled around too many people.

Brian shows Debbie the market site. Debbie tells Brian that she has a new business plan, but not for Hungary. Debbie thinks that a large-scale dairy farm in the middle of the Estate is the way forward. They bump into Tony, who (unwittingly) tells Debbie about the downfall of his and Pat's dairy business. He wishes he was in Brian's position. He'd put it all down to arable so he and Pat could get their lives back. Tony can't see why anyone would want to go into dairy farming.
