Ambridge celebrates Joe's 90th birthday, and Jim blunders into sensitive territory.

Eddie and Clarrie prepare the food for Joe's 90th birthday. Keen to help, a friendly David welcomes Clarrie back after her break. However, Clarrie remains anxious about facing everyone again later.

Alice tells Amy about the extent of Pat and Tony's current situation. It has prompted Alice to work voluntarily for them with friends, and Amy agrees to help. Alice has also bribed her friend Chloe with the promise of a place at the Highfield Manor party. Meanwhile, Amy needs somewhere for her dad to organise the harvest supper.

Over potato picking, they also discuss Amy's job as a midwife and how Chris is supportive about Alice forthcoming MSc studies.

Sampling Joe's cider, David and Bert learn that Oliver Sterling is supporting Joe's enterprise. Clarrie arrives with Eddie, and they're all delighted to see her back.

David tells Joe that Mike's interested in managing the green burial site. Jim later makes an ill-judged comment about hygiene standards. He's talking about cider brewing, but Clarrie feels awkward anyway. David helpfully steers the conversation elsewhere. Alice and Amy finally arrive to join the celebrations, with others from the potato field in tow.
