Robert gets a scare and Neil makes a tragic discovery.
Neil and Hannah are shocked to discover that there have been a number of incidents of tail-biting amongst the Berrow Farm pigs. As they round up the injured pigs for treatment, Hannah becomes defensive. She doesn't like Neil鈥檚 insinuation that it started at the weekend, when she was on duty. Over a pint, Neil admits to Rex that he鈥檚 gutted. It鈥檚 an awful welfare problem, and of course he had to tell Justin. Neil is also worried about his reputation as a pigman. Rex thinks that Justin is reasonable, and values Neil鈥檚 opinion. Neil just needs to get Justin to listen.
David鈥檚 unimpressed when Kenton implies that he鈥檚 temperamentally unsuited to hosting weddings at Brookfield. David points out that he鈥檚 only providing a venue, but Kenton thinks it鈥檚 inevitable that he鈥檒l be dragged into the drama of any wedding. And David doesn鈥檛 have the right people skills. David is offended.
At Lower Loxley Robert isn鈥檛 enjoying rehearsals of Jim鈥檚 ghost story readings. Jim insists on sitting in the dark, and Russ has found a creepy dummy to serve as part of the set. That evening, Robert complains to Lynda that it鈥檚 a disaster. Lynda can鈥檛 believe that he鈥檚 scared of a dummy. She鈥檚 keen to go to sleep, but Robert is unnerved by an owl hooting outside.
